[surely not]

Ryanair operated a Bandeirante from Waterford to Gatwick in the mid 80's. EI-BPI was the reg, 18 leather seats config and 2 of the prettiest hosties it was ever my pleasure to meet.
The service didn't last long before they left to set up out of LTN. No sign at this time of the giants of LoCo carriers they have since become.

I flew with them as a Unaccompanied Minor from Dublin to Munich once, on a BAC111 I believe.

being an "official" UM on FR is a bit of a collectors item, no?
