Silvertop
I worked all the way through it, for an airline now acquired by another. We had a 145 go farming, but the pilot managed to get it back on the runway. I was the station manager for the airline, and by the time I got airside, the a/c landing lights were pointing in my direction at the terminal. The pilot also managed to taxi to stand, where the pax were unloaded and I had to talk to them in the terminal. Not many had brown trousers on, unfortunately.
You were right about EZY, they went to CWL, and RYR carried on operating until BIA made the decision to close. We stopped operating after EZY went, and I became in charge of a coaching operation for the next 3 days.
Nightmare I wouldn't want to repeat
