I just saw something on short finals at EGAC which was definetly an ATR 42. I was a bit back so couldnt see up close but it looked alot like G-DRFC of bmi and this would fit in with it being parked on stand i think its 5 which you cannot see from the road and is where they park a Fokker 100 etc when “subing” for an A3XX for bmi.
Any ideas why it was there? Yet to confirm was G-DRFC but the LHR flight landed at 1633!!

According to the G-INFO website it’s registered with ATLANTIC AIR TRANSPORT LTD Hope this helps.

It was operating for Euromanx. I’ve seen the aircraft a few times this week.

Operated for EMX last month, so could be for IOM?

Strange. Anyone know of an ATR that looks like it at BHD as flytecomm had zilch special flights. Could have been IOM flight but i definetly was driving past after it landed as Radio1 1630 news was on

I don’t think it’s operating for bmi anymore…?
