You are quite correct regarding the helicopter night ban, in hindsight something that Stobart really should not have offered as part of the Section 106 agreement linked to the runway extension, but I thought the BBJ based upon the B737 (700 series) had a QC1 certification. Perhaps I'm mistaken on that point.
