Gatwick to Rouen 1994/95

[Grumpy Git]

Sometime during the latter-half of 1994/early part of 1995, I took a scheduled return flight from London Gatwick (LGW) to Rouen (URO) in northern France. I travelled there and back in a day.

Can anyone please help me identify which airline provided this service?

The only clues I can offer is that the aircraft was definitely a twin-prop Embraer Bandeirante (I don't know which derivative, but I think it was an E-110 as it was not a pressurised cabin). I also seem to remember it having an all-over dark blue livery, but I could be mistaken!

Air UK would seem to fit the bill.

Something like this perhaps?

Thanks, but the dates Air UK operated the EMB-110's doesn't fit the dates, (assuming the information on Wiki is accurate). The livery does look about right, however!

Could it be that it was an ex-Air UK aircraft operated by a successor on that route, British Caledonian Commuter perhaps?

Possibly Brit Air of France as they operated routes to and from Gatwick.

Here is a link to one of their Banderainte aircraft...
