Stn Air UK was exceptional.

l was upstairs, looking directly down onto the aircraft outside, having a leisurely fag when l noticed a sprightly old couple fretting on their way by looking for their gate.

"the second screen says it`s over there. Are you sure ? Unless it`s back there. l need the loo. You can`t, we`ll be late"

Excuse me, your gate is there. The loo`s are just over there and don`t worry l won`t go without you.

A lifetime away, and will never happen again.

I'd love to bring back the young & fun airline that was cut down in its prime!

Go. Whether it was a flawed business model or not, you certainly got the feeling it was a Lo-Co with heart - assigned seating, staff who gave a damn, and an overall feel of a company that wanted to be different. A shame it was ultimately seen as a cash cow, I think there's still a place in the market for at least one low-cost airline that's not FR - and not EZY either.

Air UK
Air Europe
Capital - I loved those stripey 360's & 146's

I would love to see the dragon in the sky ,Cambrian Airways, the happiest airline,why because we had the best looking girls in aviation

Ansett - so that I could stay that extra 18 months to get my long service leave out of them...hehehe

Paramount Airways
 

I agree with Travel Agent!
Paramount Airways were a great operation but I am bound to say that as I worked for them!

Cambrian - get outfit which should have been left alone by London Airways!

Before my time, but I suggest Imperial Airways - preferably with Empire flying boats!

BWA .. when the empire started at Southend

EuroDirect .. where Neil Handsford taught everyone at BOH the value of adding swear words into every F@''''g sentence

The pioneering and cheerfully coloured Court Line.

Yeah what a memory. The 2 146s were reg
G-OSUN
G-OSKI

They flew from memory to Dublin, Belfast City, Leeds Bradford, Gatwick and Luton.

They connected each of DUB LBA BHD LTN to each other except LBA didnt go to LTN but instead a route to LGW!

DUB BHD was short lived as it was just new when the airline folded. It was only 20 quid each way!! Capital were head to head with Ryanair on DUB LTN.

I also loved the SH6 and still do but so rare to see one about.

And I remember my two flights on BEA with fondness as well.

Invicta Airways. DC4,DC6,Vikings then Vanguards and a B720.Childhood memories of picknic's near 29 threshold waving at the crews and passengers who always waved back. No security arresting you in those days and Manston was pretty busy.:)

BOAC
TWA (more of a class act than Pan Am in later years)
Scot Airways (before the CityJet makeover)

Gill Airways for me!!!
