These I remember having been there.
Late 1980s - STN-BRU-STN 5 nights a week for Fedex. HPR7.
1990s - STN-EDI-STN 5 nights a week for Royal mail. After a while this changed to EDI-STN-EDI. L188.
Late 1990s/early 2000s - STN-CGN-EMA-STN 5 nights a week for UPS. A300.
Around 2000 - STN-LGG-STN 5 nights a week for TNT. A300. (G-CEXI in TNT colours)
They also started a scheduled weekly cargo service in their own right STN-IST-STN around 2002 with the A300, but I think it only operated twice.
There were also some F27 flights, but I was not involved with these.
The fact that Channel Express operated scheduled services on "behalf" of other companies doesn't really count I don't think. It's just the same as Jet2 or Titan Airways operating flights on behalf of the Royal Mail, at the end of the day they were Royal Mail flights.
I won't add Channel Express to the list of former scheduled cargo airline's operating from London Stansted Airport based on the two flights STN-IST-STN as there have been many other examples that I could easily add if that we're the case.
I'll be re-editing the list accordingly.
