Back in the 90,s I had a job in Edinburgh and was a regular on the Short 360 out of LBA - forget the carrier but I am sure someone will be along to remind me (Gill Airway's anyone, just remembered !). I also had few times in winter on the 06.30 depp where there was heavy frost on the ground, and the A/C was like an ice box (despite air blowers being used), you did not seem to get any warmth until abeam Carlisle ! Flying in colder climates which I have also done my fare share of, the carriers always seem to pre heat A/C but Gill Airways and LBA obviously did not always factor in the vagrancies of UK weather some mornings, well that's what it felt like anyway.
