AirUK operated the GCI-LHR route from April 1980 until around the end of 1997, when they pulled out of the route. Not had a Guernsey Heathrow service since and probably never will.Used heralds until about 1983 then used F27s until 1988 then used the BAE 146 for a few years and then went back to using F27s and finally Fokker 50.
The last day of LHR-GCI was March 28th 1998. For most of that last winter G-UKJF (140-100) was used on the route and it was supposed to continue until the end but it operated its final flight for AirUK LHR-GCI the day before (27/3/98) and we then ferried it to NWI to be returned to the Lessor. If it had flown the final days sectors the number of hours on the airframe would have left the company liable for a C or D check (I can't remember which) so another aircraft was used for the last day.
