So EXT and BOH both see 1 and a 1/2 737NG's based for them each week.
Back in the early 70's LTN had around 10 Court Line 1-11 500's and 2 Tristars
BMA usually had one or two 1-11 500's operating on IT's.
Dan Air had 5 LTN based
1-11 300/400's plus the Comets and 727-100's coming in on W patterns for longer routes.
Monarch had both a handful of Brits and a handful of 720B's based
and Britannia had about a dozen or so 737-200's on the fleet by then
It’s not a LTN-based 737 though if it’s spending the whole week out of LTN? LTN only had one based aircraft this summer (757) and will have at least one for S20 (not sure which type). The original thoughts were that a LTN a/c would spend Mon-Thurs there and then work from BOH Fri-Sun. It now looks like a single a/c will operate from EXT Mon-Thurs and BOH Fri-Sun, meaning the a/c is clearly not LTN-based.
