Both Astraeus aircraft G-STRI and G-STRJ fly now regularly for FlyMe.
G-STRI has still the light blue FlyBe belly, and G-STRJ has the Astraeus stars on the tail, both have the big FlyMe letters on the fuselage.
I have never read an official FlyMe statement about a planned 747 operation, but a Swedish tabloid came up with the idea when Porter (GSS owner) came in as an investor in fall 2006.
