I had missed the news about Roy Sucking passing away. I recall in the late 80's/early 90's a TV documentary about the creation of the then Suckling Airways which flew from Cambridge to Manchester and Amsterdam using a D228 (G-BMMR). In flight catering prepared by friends and neighbours literally on the kitchen table. I also recall seeing the D228 many times at Manchester. It is a type I have never flown on but would dearly like to.
Suckling/Scot seems to have favoured niche markets but moved on once the "big boys" move in - Southampton - Amsterdam and maybe CDG at one time. It also operated LCY-BHD for a while with D328 on behalf of Air France
