Quote "Is the British Government really going to rely on Blue Islands and Aurigny for Regional Connectivity on the South Coast?"

Err......yes, they are

GPRPE just departed BHD.

​​​​​​GJEDW also on the way from EDI. Both airframes showing as owned by Flybe. Who would be flying these ?

SOU Restart of Services
 

Southampton will not only be served by Blue Islands to Jersey, and Aurigny to Alderney and Guernsey. Loganair start services next week to Newcastle, Glasgow, and Edinburgh. Eastern start on 22/06 to Aberdeen, Newcastle, Belfast, and Manchester, then Leeds/Bradford and Teeside. They will slowly ramp up schedules and destinations through Jul, Aug, and Sep.

Not forgetting Dublin also in July with Eastern. Still waiting to hear on AMS & CDG!

Contract pilots flying G-PRPE and G-JEDW.

There is 2 Aircraft Maintenance Companies at Saarbrucken Airport that does work on the Dash 8.
Might be flown to Saarbrucken Airport for engine changes.
As one engine on G-PRPE might belong to G-JEDW, and one engine on G-JEDW might belong to G-PRPE.

G-JECM was having an engine change at SOU yesterday. Chat elsewhere suggests this a/c was u/s before Flybe ceased ops

Correct - it was.

Just the one banjaxed aircraft?

Well G-JECK has had a ground incident today in Aberdeen. Looks like it hit a Loganair E145 whilst taxiing and the Q400’s cockpit is wedged underneath the right hand engine on the Emb. Loss of brake pressure whilst taxiing? Wouldn’t be the first time...

Nothing like one last stab at the competition...

Photos or it didn't happen.... :-)

I think that one is owned by ex airline flybe so part of the tiny amount of assets left.

The administrators will be pleased.

(it's not my photo - credit to the original photographer though)

It happened :-)
Many thanks Piece

G-JECK is leased from NAC

Loss of brake pressure when taxying?!!! Well pull the big black and yellow striped handle marked park/emergency brake. That should do the trick.

Anyone know where is was flying to.

Wow. It actually got the 145 off the ground.

Not if there is no pressure in the accumulator after being parked for months. (I mean the 1500psi N2)
