BAC Express Airlines
I see that G-CLAS has arrived at EXT with a brand new paint job
Is this the only a/c that operates scheduled mail / cargo flights for BAC or do they have other routes?

Still looking for a link to their website or some contact numbers. I assume they are still located near LGW or have they moved it all down to EXT 
Any web link to the paint scheme

No chance for newbies
Unfortunately, with the demise of Emerald, there is zero chance of getting type rated on BACs or for that matter Aurigny's sheds. The only TRTO in the uk was Emerald for the mighty Shed and thats gone up in smoke now.
Who knows, Emeralds Sheds still had plenty of life left in them and were decent work-horses; There might be a buyer hovering in the wings to take the planes on. Which in turn, might require someone to get TRTO approval.

SD3-60 TRTO
Emerald is not yet folded, only in administration. The AOC may have been lost but the TRTO is still valid and therefore in theory it would be possible to run a TRTO course for any type for which they hold approval. As this generates revenue you might find that it appeals to the administrators.

Blue Coyote - Emerald did not have sims for either the Shorts 360 or the HS 748; they did the flight training in the actual aircraft (8 hours or so) - plus obviously the LST and the base training. Therefore I think they need the AOC to be valid in order to use the aircraft for that purpose - but then again, as Air Mail mentioned, what's the point?

Nice to see a revamped website now up and running. Might be my settings, but are the pages a little small www.bacexpress.com
This move recently, is it for the entire company, or are there plans for another "operational move"
Good luck to all at BAC, nice to hear good news for once
