Sorry to see it end; it's just a pity that it was basically an unsuccessful operation. There are so many regional routes - LBA, LPL, NCL, INV, JER etc - crying out for links to LHR, yet VS chose routes where they'd be in competition with a well established existing carrier.

Now, those three A320s are Aer Lingus's problem; one will be repainted in Aer Lingus's rugby livery, another will join the EI fleet and the third, well, they'll find something to do with it.

And yet another British airline flies into history. Little Red Riding Airbus finally met the wolf ... and lost.
