JAN OPS 1
Glad to hear that things are still going according to your plans.
I'm still puzzled, though, at your reluctance to carry out ad hoc charters. I know that things can go a little quiet in the summer but, for example, there were at least four ad hoc charters through SEN yesterday by aircraft with under 6 tonnes payload, including two German F27s. Ford traffic is always there to some extent and a quick call to their brokers (used to be Artac in my day) would let them know you were available.
Currently having an aircraft sitting idle on an H24 airfield in the south-east of UK is surely going to be of interest to the brokers and it would establish you as being back on the scene and operational.
Good luck anyway with your contract negotiations.
