Assume you are not resident in the U.K.?:)
Forgot to tell you about the Cougar DVD, don’t know if it still available?
Janie hasn’t spotted my little typo yet …
Maybe change your name to BIG H? I think she is sulking as she hasn’t replied or emptied her PM’s.:)
🙁 Unsold at £24,200, only two bidders were bidding.
Got shots of that, if it is the time it parked north side for a few days. Or maybe that was its only visit to that place you say starts with G and ends with W. Gzpwszczw ?
Yup, either that one or PIK.:p

A new one on me! You saw the only aircraft in the fleet.
What ever happened to the this airline?
James
Lasted three years and operated three aircraft.
Cheers. That narrows it down a bit more. Just need to know when 737WH was in at PIK between these dayes to narrow it even further. Getting there.
I can tell you that it flew a football charter 15/5/02 from Madrid to an airport begining with G and ending with W!
Photo of the Cougar, anytime between 6/01 and 8/02. It was at Edinburgh on 11/21/01.:)
The had runway was installed in 1965. This enabled the largest propliner ever to visit the airport in 1968 when the Douglas C-124 Globemaster landed. DC-3 operators at this time would have included Cambrian, Morton Air Services, British United Island Airways and Strathair. ‘Propliner’ magazine have been recounting the history of Southampton Airport over the past couple of years, well worth reading!:)
Illustration of the aircraft here. It would probably have been flying between Leuchars and Bromma.

Guess any field could be an ‘airfield’!:D Ask your parents to ask the oldest person in the village.
Very interesting, very long listing, good illustrations, where do these auctioneers dream up these prices?
