Best wishes to all those at Fordair. Used to work there and fly regularly on the 1-11's and G1 in the 1980's between STN, LPL, MAS, CGN and VLC, on occasion occupying the 1-11 jumpseat.
Triggered my dormant enthusiasm for aviation and I now fly the 744 for BA.
Sad to hear of its demise, if maybe not totally unexpected in today's marketplace.
