I recall Spantax operating a 4 Engine Coronado out of BHX and the RAF with L1011 for MEDEVAC stops for Selly Oak and QE hospitals. This aside, an excellent piece of work and a reference for the record. Thank you Matt!

Should KTHY be on there too Matt. Kibris Turk Hava Yolları?

Cheers

I also regularly saw SPANTAX CV990 Coronado's at BHX, but not sure they were still operating by 1986. A wonderful aircraft to see, though!

Also, if relevant to charters, British Airways Concorde!! The flight I paid £600 to Paris CDG although it may have been post 1986 but before the crash that eventually led to early retirement of the glorious aircraft. An unforgettable experience. And there was Biman bringing the DC-10 on its retirement from passenger service and the joyrides offered.

I guess Matt has focused on 'regular charters'. 'One-offs' would number in the thousands. I remember Interflug TU-134's, Alitalia A300's (for school exchanges), not to mention all of the flights for the Cup Winners cup final etc.

It makes me sad reading this. I don't know why! I guess i feel that the industry is kind of stale compared to years gone by.
