. I think the Caravelle uses a flight engineer? With no thrust reversers, I doubt it could operate schedules into a short field like Jersey.
They did operate occasionally into Jersey and the first one I saw in the late 1960's (aged about 6) used all of the length of 27 and then disappeared out of sight down into the bay before climbing out over the sea.

The last one that I saw there would have been in the early 1990's.
