Hi,
I saw a clip on the news last night of assylum seekers who had been refused assylum here in the UK. The clip showed them as they board a Channel Express aircraft.
Any idea where this was and what aircraft it was? Obviously a 737 (If so, is this going to Jet2) or an A300 (which I thought was cargo, unless the assylum seekers travelled in crates?).

Thanks Preston,
QC is this Quick Change version of the 737 isn’t it?
I was reading about it in Airliner World just a couple of months back and was fascinated that within an hour, a cargo aircraft could become a fully equipped passenger cabin and vice versa.
