For the sake of historical record does anyone have a full list of the positioning flights back to Blackpool aircraft/call sign / point of departure/ time of arrival?
What is the status of the AOC is it still suspended or has it been withdrawn? (Academic really once KPMG came through the door) What "Official" grounds have been given by the CAA for the suspension.
Hope everyone gets sorted out soon with new careers, whenever I have met any Gemstone staff they have been caring competant and professional.

I agree totally with your first paragraph. There are a few sad people about.
For the arrivals of the Fleet at Blackpool try the Blackpool spotter web site they seem to have their finger on the pulse. They have a photo on the first page. As for the two aircraft which inpounded at Liverpool (ATP & HS748) and Coventry (two HS748 and lots of shorts 3-60's,some grounded before due lack of spares) plus the Pax ATP on the IOM. Try air traffic or if you know any of the pilots they will let you know. If you know David P training Capt he has most of the crews e-mails addresses. He could ask for the info. Good luck
As for the reason for the CAA suspending the AOC it's anyone guess. Nobody at "Emerald" has told us.
It's not been lifted as far as we know. All the pilots have had their P45's and everyone else The company is no more. Rather a sad way to go.
I believe pilots are finding jobs far and wide.
