As far as I am aware they were training flights yes, but revenue flights all the same. I am not sure of the details as I am yet to be rostered to Athens but there is a fair amount of training to do due to the CAT C airfields.

Nice pic of G-JECV Keith, I flew her today/tonight, it lands like a garden shed, or was it just me? Probably the latter 😀

Thanks for that, Deano. 🙂

Am I right in thinking that G-FLBD & E are going on wetlease, but F, G & H are tranferring to Pantheon (the restructured Olympic) as G-PTHA, B & C?

Thanks for that Rob ! We do get a fair amount of Flybe movements here, but not as many as you I suspect ?

Deano, any ideas why it was going to Thessaloniki, Corfu, Kefalonia and Zakynthos also. Was it crew training?
