Great shame. It'll be odd not seeing the familiar green tail & logo around the night freight ramps.
Sounds like a good excuse for a get together with a beer or two! Has anyone made any plans for one yet?
Cheers to all my ex-crews. Hope you have a good one in 06.

Royal mail aircraft are quick change so usually operate for Jet2 / Globespan or charter during day. The skynet contract is a long one so brinigng in good income would be very unlikely Jet2 would let it go.

Re: End of Channel?
Not really any point in keeping the name Channel Express. They had no aircraft!! Well, I supose nominally a couple of 73s - the rest being Jet 2. Dart Group still remains, named after the Dart engine fitted to the first couple of Heralds with which Channel started. Fowler Welch-Coolchain (the distribution company) continues to do well, and I wonder where the doom and gloom merchants are now hiding. Remember the posts of earlier in 2005 -Finished by the end of the year etc! I know where I'm keeping my money.
