UK Airline to have disappeared....07/08

Just a general discussion on UK airlines which have disappeared from our skies during the past 12 months, the why's, will we miss them or was the business just not up to scratch??

GB Airways - did BA make a mistake in selling franchise, certainly they had a good route network and a healthy reputation.

UKIA - route wise, potentially quite lucrative, management too dodgy?

Flyjet - IMHO there is room for a small independant charter carrier, however did their aircraft let them down, certainly in NCL flyjet was associated with delays, but rumours had it they did actually make a profit!

Silverjet - very recent, is the industry just not ready for this type of carrier?

Air Wales - were they in the past year?
