Psstt....rumour on the street is that the former owner of the now defunct
Emerald Airways has hatched a plan to get a few of them back in service again, (not the former MD whom was a mere ops clerk when he and I worked at a.n other company), and one or two have departed Blackpool to be soon seen in a new livery.

Some have been sold abroad and recently overhauled and test flown prior to delivery.
Would it be those that are being seen.

Garry, there were 3 gone to Bangladesh; these other 2 or 3
will operate cargo from mainland UK to IOM and Scottish Islands, possibly in the livery of a well-known road haulage company,
if the operators licence is granted.
