Post Capital Airlines (UK)

Anyone got any memories / experiences to share about Capital? Seem to remember they worked out of Leeds between about 1988 and 1992, operating SH360's and latterly a couple of 146's. Descended from Knight Air (?). Any ex crew still out there.. sure there are some tales to be told...

Ahhh yes, remember it all well!!

It was descended from Brown Air. Knight Air bought Capital's assets.

Sad day helping to clear out the old Northair hangar....as for stories, probably best not to post them here...!!!

Good days!

I always knew him as OTT. It stood for On Time T******* because he was the only one who could make the schedules!

Some great people and great fun for the time I was there.
