By Cov, I presume you mean Coventry (or could it be Covilha in Portugal which has the IATA code of COV?), it does help if you use the full name of a place on a Forum like this!
Presuming you mean Coventry (CVT/EGBE):-
The RUS DHC8 was DBOBU, it had arrived with the German U21 football team.
The Metro may have been BinAir's DCBIN which was present during the day. A picture can be found at:-

DHC6 CGKBR was also present Thursday arriving late morning & parking on the North Apron.

They also fly in from EHEH and EDDH in the evening on contracts.
I wouldn't say they were available for charters in the day - maybe at weekends occasionally.

Farnair is always available for cargo and passenger ad-hoc flights 24/7 if aircraft and crew are available.
ATR 42/72 and fokker 27.
The problem is that ups are using most cargo aircraft for night cargo ops from eddk but during the day aircraft are available.

Exactly - and they rarely have crew available at CVT to do ad-hoc work before their contracted weekday evening flights.

Visitor to CVT
The Hapag Lloyd 737-800 (D-AHLQ) landed at Coventry last night. Looked really nice and tidy and soo much larger than its Thompsonfly brothers and sisters (G-THOD etc)
Wondering if Thompsonfly are going to use it regularly or was it becomes one of the 4 smaller 737's had gone tech somewhere.
Does anyone know if Coventry can handle fully laden '800's lanidng wise or is (landing and braking) performance as good as the 737-500's ?
