It was a DC9 back then, and the inflight service I believe was called Diamond Service or something like, but it was quite a while ago so I could be wrong. I flew on your service into Liverpool once in about 1985/86, and it was one of the quietest flights I have ever been on, mid morning from memory and I think something like 8 passengers on a DC9. The route was dropped shortly afterwards.
I do not remember flying on Viscounts with BMI, it was DC9, ATP, 737 when I was using you in that period, and before that I was using London Airways with 1-11 and Tridents. I changed company in 87 and they had a policy of using London Airways so that was my last period of flying with you until early 2001 when I was a regular on the Man - Chicago flight for a while. You were a very good airline in my humble opinion back then, and the Diamond service was considerably better than the opposition in the UK.
