Well my VLM source was wrong lol as it clearly went to Rotterdam, I heard the VLM brand will be re-launched once again as a stand alone brand and not under Cityjet. Hope so, was always a nice livery and trusted brand and awfully silly seeing a prop aircraft fly round with the word JET written on it lol.

I remember in the 70's Viscounts/Friendships had "propjets" marked up.

And the HS748, which was often also referred to in its early days as the Avro 748 Prop Jet. I recall that when BKS had their 748 based at Leeds, it had 'prop jet' written on the fuselage. In fact anything powered by the RR Dart Engine, (which also included the Handley Page Herald) was often referred to as a Prop Jet. It is that engine incidentally that the Dart Group (owners of Jet2) took their name from.

I used to love the sound of 4 Darts powering up on the Viscounts at LBA. That is one plane I really miss.

 

[imagineif]

"Prop-Jet" ok...but CITYJET with 2 Pratt Props sat on the wings just looooooks silly. A jet is a jet, a prop is a prop lol
