I spent an afternoon at the airport on the 20th after sitting an exam in the morning. Jersey’s heyday as an airport was back in the 70’s when at times it was considered to be the third busiest in the world with a flight every 1 1/2 mins, however the cheap package deal put paid to the tourist trade and the number of flights has significantly declined. Recently we have seen a minor influx of budget operators, mainly Thomsonfly who are now operating from Coventry and Luton to Jersey. BMIBaby have recently introduced a twice daily service to Heathrow. Our French connections are carried out by TwinJet and Aurigny. Blue Island have a plan to fly to Paris in the not too distant future.
My afternoon was spent practicing panning and shutter speeds for far more interesting historic subjects next month, the main types passing through were GA, and a few scheduled flights. The French eggbeater was an unusual addition.

Cheers Guys,
I have to admit it was a litle bit quieter than I was expecting , but , its not the start of the summer season yet, so could provide intreasting movements, I was surprised by the lack of any Air France , or Air France Regional flights , seeing as France is only 14 miles away

Would really like to know when the shot of ‘Ice Ice baby’ was taken, and if you know where it had arrived from and where it was heading?
