Love you too Rivet Joint. SEN is not an hour away from LHR, min of 90 mins if you're lucky (i.e NO traffic at all)
The airport should discourage Flybe from doing AMS and try and get KLM to do a more attractive 4-times daily schedule.
Anyway the future of SOU seems to lie in the hands of flylolo (wasn't that a comedic parody of flybe on bbc?)
