It must have been 87 that AUK started a STN/FRA F27 route, had an average load of around 2 pax but who cares about trivialities!

AUK, never mind the 360's, also had a Shed330, for sure that operated the pee-poor STN/BRU route, can't recall what else it might have done except keep engineering staff occupied.
I accidentally ommited the Air UK SD330, I will edit my post to show this.

Air UK STN-DUS started in 1987 and I believe STN-FRA started in 1988 or late 1987.
