I think you will find they wanted to use a Loganair aircraft in full colours to get the most from all the press coverage
QUOTE=VentureGo;10509502]Copied on Carlisle thread:
I notice Aircraft operating this morning (ES-NSD) to Dublin & Belfast has been substituted at Carlisle for the LM 607 to Suthend by another Saab A340 aircraft G-LGNC. Wonder if ES-NSD has gone tech on first day of Loganair operations ex Carlisle?
