I didn't realise the Transavia 737 was a wet lease, not remembering the Dutch accents on the RT at any time. Still seems a bit of an oddball route to have served from an airport (LBA) whose charter flights were, at the time, virtually exclusively to Spain with Britannia, Air Europe, Monarch and Orion.
Speaking of white 737s, 1983 also saw Air Europe operate G-BKRO through Leeds Bradford, usually on Sunday afternoon to Palma. The leased Air Florida machines were regulars at the time as well. Must have been one of those occasions when AE were shorter than usual of normal capacity.
Wish we still had these airlines around and Aviogenex, Inex Adria and so on. The UK regional airports were more interesting then.
