There was a strong headwind and the captain came back and said words to the effect "it's going to be a long night" and opened a free bar which helped with the drone of the Darts. It actually took 2hrs and 10 minutes, almost exactly twice the average sector time of the .BAe.146s which followed the F27s on the route
Do you know the date or at least the month in 1986 that Air UK started STN to Frankfurt?

Considering that you have logged the flight for 1986 I shall edit my post to add Frankfurt from STN by Air UK for that year but I will await confirmation from yourself regarding the start date before I do so.
