I passed by and said “hello” to Joe McBryan (aka ‘Buffalo Joe’) at Coventry Airport yesterday. Someone said they saw a film crew at some point – for the next series of “Ice Pilots”??
Are the Electras with Atlantic Airlines the last ones in the UK?

Was supprised to see one at Bournemouth only a couple of weeks ago on the mail run. Great cargo aircraft just a shame it came along at the wrong time in the first place.

Worth remembering that two of his aircraft are at St Athan at the moment with his good pal, Bruce Dickinson, business CAL.
I have heard from a good source that there maybe a connection between St Athan and the Atlantic Electra soon, but should stress that I don’t know the validity of that.
As it is Electra G-LOFC is a semi regular, and very welcome sight at Cardiff where it can be seen flying circuits on occasional weekends.

Thanks Joe for the link to the Commercial Section and on to the list of surviving Electras.
It looks like anyone keen to see an Electra in the air over the UK had better get to Baginton pretty smartish.
