RW 10/28 was briefly redesignated 09/27 before decommissioning, which took place about twelve years ago. It was a useful facility for propliners and small jets back in the day. Ideal for Viscounts and Heralds doing short hops to Beauvais and Rotterdam but perhaps not so good for Aer Lingus 1-11s !

Slightly off thread but I gather Stansted was once something of a hotbed for weekend Scandinavian charters so attracted the likes of Scanair and Sterling. Like LBA, this may have been a little before Mediterranean ITs came along.
