BRYMON dash7

i handled brymon at LHR back 1977-85 and got to know them all well at PLH and NQY

when the new dash-7's were delivered we were all told they would op to ISC
St Marys with a LHR connection

i think a test/proving flight was done but nothing more came of it - i gather it was scary but don't quote me on that

the dash carried 50 pax and surely the economics of 50 pax all season would be
very good indeed
not sure is she could lift 50 off from ISC with fuel for PLH EXT or SOU for that matter

st marys has a 600m runway - Tyrolean flew into courchevel ski resort with the -7 and that is only 535m
