In 1969 the Westward Islander used to fly LGW-LHR-PLH-NQY-ISC and by coincidence towards the end of our days as an airline we used to subcharter the Southend Air Taxis Cessna 336 when XHE or XXH were tech or we were short of crew. That is about as close as anything is going to get to fly to SEN from NQY!
I will usually fly to LGW to connect to Transatlantic flights and drive to LHR since it usually means going up the day before anyway. I would also connect over MAN but if flying short haul would prefer to drive to BRS or EXT. Cost is a huge issue though.
I really cannot see the need for year round services to or from the South East apart from those that already exist.
Since this is an ASW thread surely Eastern will now pick over the bones and the name of Air Southwest will vanish.
