Does anybody know the date – approximately – when the former BACon ERJ-145s stopped using the ‘British’ callsign and changed to ‘Jersey’? I need to know because i have a feeling i continued marking the ERJs as ‘BRT’ rather than ‘BEE’ in my log for some time after they became part of the BEE fleet.

As far as I know the codeshare is only until the end of the Summer schedules, so end of October.

Another BACON/Flybe related question…
Does anyone know if BA are going to continue their code-share agreement with Flybe on the routes that they took over from BACON, and if not when they are likely to dis-continue it?

Took a while for some of the pilots to get used to the change. On numerous occasions I heard ‘Scottish, this is the British, sorry, Jersey 123…’

The last day of ‘British’ was the 24th march 2007, unless any flights were delayed and so got back to base in the early hours of the 25th. I flew the last DHC8-300 on a British callsign back into Man, parked the old girl on a remote stand and locked it up, I think it then went to Exeter where all the DHC8-300’s that were left from Bacon languish!!

I “think” it was March 25th, this was the official takeover date. I can’t imagine they would still use the British callsign after this date because there was plenty of time to get things sorted.
