Channel Express.
See from a wire in the office that Dart Group are getting some more Boings 737 from Australia for their Aviation division Channel Express. Good to see that someone is bucking the present trend

There are details of the purchase of 4 x 737-300s from Ansett on the Dart Group website; http://www.dartgroup.co.uk. As has been remarked already, it's good to see some positive forward thinking. Good luck to them. 
Yep, sure is. Edited only to show Website with correct URL. Hogg

Working boy, some loadies like working on the 737 during the summer. It is for some like letting a child go mad in willy wonkas chocolate factory! However as I am old an over the hill ( but not buried in it yet) I will continue to be a member of the sleepless knights. I heard from a ginger beer that 2 of these Ansett 737s were QCs, but have as yet been unable to confirm, that is why I asked the question! See yer in the bar. Commited to cargo thats me?

Unless they are planning on putting in freight doors then to the best of my knowlege these are all 87-90 generation 737-377's as used by the defunct Ansett Australia passenger airline. Have a look at 737-300 database

From what I understand of the purchase 2 of the aircraft will remain as they are, in PAX config. Rumblings are that the other 2 may be being converted to QC. I don't think there are any plans to scrap any of them for bits.
The going looks good at EXS

For info, first B737-300 arrived at Bournemouth yesterday. VH-CZE in full Ansett colours.
No idea what is happening to it as they have parked it in the scrapping line. This may not mean much as it may just be a convenient place to leave it now that European have taken over half of the airfield!
