rog747 - Interesting stuff. but having worked for Servisair at MAN, this bit raised an eyebrow -
Air Europe became a first rate charter airline, using brand new equipment from the outset and provided food and service that were reviewed to be comparable to scheduled carriers.
When they dropped the unused meals in our crew room, they were the same crap as everybody else had....
When I was working them, the only difference between Britannia, Orion and Air Europe was the colours. May have been different on the scheds out of LGW
And just to drag the thread even further off topic, anybody know why DanAir were handled by BA at MAN in the early eighties? Only charter airline to use them...
