Well, no more BACX ATP's (phew!) but we still have the Emerald ones flogging backward and forward to LPL.
Still a good looking aircraft but an over-engineered pig to work on. And G-MAUD had a nasty tendency to over-stay her welcome on checks!
Anyway, end of an era with BACX - what next? More balloons?

To be, er scrapped by any remote chance ?
--used for Semtex demonstrations, as crash / fire practice for the APFS, targets for the RAF / Navy / RA---or any other use that prevents the heaps getting airborne again---ever.
----hope springs eternal of course. Or put them on display as a classic example of "how not to design and build an aircraft".

Oshkosh George....
If you want to get technical, Yes, the last flight routing was originally BACX but given to Loganair along with the ATP's which were still BACX crew and on our AOC! and we're still wholly owned by BA. Ok SunAir still have theirs but for how long? the Dornier 328 seems to be making a bit of a come back!

Yes I had fond memories to of the ATP,like mentioned I had first Flightdeck visit on ATP of Manx Airlines.Began dreaming to fly them,then I started working at BHD and found htem an annoying BU
GER of a plane.You got to all the effort of loading the suckers for them to go tech.
One laughable memory was after a few days of sitting around G-MANF/E I believe after going tech,was made sreviceable.Anyways popped over and guided it back while it powered back from old BHD terminal.Taxied off "Happy days!" I said then as I was walking out the damn thing taxied past again.Only went tech again by the time it reached the end of the runway!!
Still quite amusing!
