Ready to Roll.

Ready to Roll.

Circa 1987/8.

The 36 seat Short 360 commuter airliner as operated during the late 1980s by Jersey European Airways, better known now as Flybe. The Short 360 was referred to as 'The Flying Shed'; or 'The Box', but mostly as just 'The Shed' given its angular and box-like appearance. It may not have been the prettiest aircraft ever built, but it was one of the most practical, reliable and more importantly it was very cost effective. It was apparently said by the then managment team at JEA that 'The Shed' was an accountants dream, costing less to operate per air mile then any other type that was on the fleet at the time.

The JEA 360s initially worked hand-in-hand with the Company's E-110 Bandeirante aircraft, but gradually took over those routes, along with other larger aircraft that were being introduced by the early 1990s as the airline expanded.

Seen in the original JEA colour scheme, G-OBLK is ready to commence its Take -Off roll on Runway 08 at Exeter Airport enroute to one of Company's many destinations.

The Bridge Inn Topsham

The Bridge Inn Topsham

Circa Summer 1993/4. The Bridge Inn, Topsham taken early one morning to catch both high tide and the morning sun. The Bridge Inn is a quirky / character pub situated by the River Clyst on the southern edge of Topsham.

Although the pub as seen dates to the 16th Century, it is known that some kind of dwelling / Inn has been on this site since 1086 as it is mentioned in the 'Doomsday Book' as a place where the stonemasons who built Exeter Cathedral stayed.

It has been in the same family for many generations and has the distinction of being the only pub ever visited by HM Queen on the 27th March 1998.
