hi guys,

i would be grateful if any seasoned spotters from the manchester / leeds bradford airports ould assist me with an enquiry please. i am trying to find out information about a aircraft, but things are a little sketchy and its going back a while.

back in 1991 (i told you it was a while ago) there was a holiday company in Huddersfield called SUNSEEKERS. they did mainly holidays to malta, cyprus and greece. just before their demise, they chartered their own aircraft to do the majority of their flights, and it is this aircraft i am trying to find information on.

the aircraft was a boeing 737 - a 200 series i think (it had the new underwing pods as opposed to the cigar shaped engines on the oder 737's) and i also believe it had just the 1 emergency exit each side that was over the wing.

i believe that the airline may have been called 'sunjet', and that it may have been leased from an irish company that may have been called 'air foyle'.

like i say, most of the information i have give could be wrong, but it is what i think should be right. if anyone can give any info on this airfram (what happened after, where it is now etc...) i would be most grateful.

kind regards
