I went on the innaugral BMI flight to LCY.Think LCY was actually BMI with an ATR42 but didn’t last long. Oh how times have changed!
That’s very interesting because it was always considered that Brown Group brought a profitable airline down. Maybe that was not the case then. Either way BZ are consigned to the history books
If I remember correctly the ATR was painted flamboyantly to advertise flights from Manchester to the Caribbean. I heard that it was intended to use an EMB 135/145 as soon as it was certified to fly into LCY (my innaugral flight certificate shows an EMB) I also believe First Direct bank had committed to use the service as soon as the jets were employed. Not sure what happened but the service was axed before the jets were introduced.
