A few from Jersey 10 August 2007

The second ATP into Guernsey is the Mail contract aircraft

Thats the BOH one with an ATP that replaced an ATR 42 or 72 before them it was with Channel Express Fokker 27’s.

The ATP into Jersey is small parcells operates Jersey-Guernsey-Luton-Brussels-Luton-Guernsey-Jersey I think it is for TNT or atl east one of those an into Guernsey this ATP carries there Newspapers before comming on to Jersey.
The second ATP into Guernsey is the Mail contract aircraft.
There is also four time a week a Coventry-Jersey-Guernsey-Coverntry Atlantic Airlines flight for small parcels as well this operates four days a week with an MNG Fokker F27 but will be an ATP sometime in the future.
Flowers from the Island go out on a Freighter Ferry in a cold storage Container, this ferry is a slow one and takes something like 13 hours but it operates every day and in all weathers gone are the days of flying the flowers out.

I know they use an Atlantic Airlines BAe ATP on the Bournemouth-Guernsey Mail run. plus dont they bring in jersey Flowers aswel.James

No so much now, the Jersey flower industry is in decline and the main producers have relocated away from the Island.

The Atlantic Airlines Electra operates Mon to Fri Newspapers and Mail in and Mail out eta 0530 and etd 1930 ish day stops in Jersey and nitestops Bournemouth on a Sat it goes down to Guernsey with there papers then returns to Bournemouth on Sat morning and stops there till first thing on Mon unless called in to do something over the weekend.

Blueislands do most of the Jersey flights with the Jetstream but durning the week there are a couple of Trislander flight to and from Guernsey and they also operate a six days a week to Beauvais from Jersey which connects with the inter island flights to Guernsey.

Not sure when these were taken, they’re from a bygone age

Any ideas of where the Bluebird goes to/from and the schedule for it and the Atlantic flights?!

Found this on Prune :-

The Koln – Rennes – Jersey rotation is to be operated by Bluebird Cargo on behalf of UPS. This is confirmed now and will begin ops on the 27th March

The L-188 usually arrives early in the morning at about 5.30 and leaves at 19.30 in the evening.

Enlighten me, what is BOH ???? I not up to date on the generally accepted airport codes.

Not sure what it is used for, I believe that the BlueBird Cargo 737 is used on the mail/papers run. However the Electra is in the island most days in conjunction with an Atlantic ATP. Both of which were at the airport early this morning when I dropped in to collect a friend of mine.

No problem:cool: BOH is the IATA airport code for Bournemouth Airport (Hurn) They have an Electra that goes and comes from Jersey and an ATP that does the same thing but to Guernsey.

Nice photographs EN830.

I don’t want to offend by talking about the ‘other island’ but I always like to see pics of Aurigny aircraft or of the islands airports and aircraft in days gone by if you have any.

Also, at the risk of asking a stupid question, why do you call Blue Island Blue Circle?

I have some shots going back a few years on a format called film, (remember that :D) somewhere in the loft, though I’m not sure how easy it would be to get to them. I don’t think I have any from any of the other islands thought, they’ll be at Jersey airport, I’ve posted pictures of the Heralds, Viscounts and Flying Shoe boxes and BAC 111’s on historic before now.

No idea why we call Blue Island, Blue Circle (Cement) it’s one of those daft things that seems to have stuck.

Nice shots there, good to see some stuff from somwhere different for a change.

I thought Blue Islands used their Trislanders on the inter-island routes, or have they got rid of them since they got the Jetstreams?

As far as I am aware they are still using the Trilanders though I must admit I can’t say I’ve seen one for sometime. I don’t think the Jetstream would be licenced to land in Alderney in any case, Trilander are ideal for this route.

The Jetstreams are used inter-island and on routes to Bournemouth and the IOM. There was talk of BlueCircle taking over the Standstead route from Atlantic, though this doesn’t seem to be the case at present. Would be handy for DX if they did.
