Wasnt just the smaller UK airports that got the likes of Spanair. I remember the weekly "invasion" of up to 12 Spanair MD80 series aircraft on Saturday nights alongside those of Lineas Aereas Canarias and the 737s and 757s of Air Europa. Some of these even operated W patterns - with one memorable one being a PMI-MAN-IBZ-MAN-PMI routing by UX.
