They could have used that trump card years ago, they didn’t.

They were the first to fly during the ash cloud crisis.

They may be poorly led and inept but they tried to make that airline work.

Most people at Plymouth think that Flybe was a nail in the coffin, the other stuff didn’t help of course.

He can now get a degree in ‘hot wiring’ and ‘twoc’……….brilliant:rolleyes:

I think the writing was on the wall well before Flybe went into NQY. It was on the wall when Sutton Harbour allowed development on the second runway at PLH which really spelt their long term intentions on what they want to do with the site.

…….not really, they really wanted it to work, I drove D.G. onto the airfield when the first (painted) ASW D8 landed at PCA. Never seen a prouder man.
We knew a couple of years later, when Flybe went into direct competiton with ASW to Gatwick it was a disaster. It was only a matter of time before they would fold. Flybe of course could absorb any loss on that route, with ASW gone they can do what they like.

…..not a fully restored Whitley then??:diablo:

100% photoshopped (poorly!!)

The ‘N’ does not follow the contours of the fuselage, its appears flat (same with the GC)

The captions do not relate to the main picture. (far left: Boulton Paul Defiant and left: Spitfire production …….)

Was there not a switch off point during the war when the Allied command realised that if Hitler was kidnapped/assassinated it would lead to a better Military commander taking over? So ‘removing’ him could have extended the war?
