Will have a check on the video, but the name Aurigny rings a bell. I think it was on the side of it. 
Got over 300 pics  and 8gbs of video to sort out.
Glad I bought the week before a Tamron 18-200 lens to replace the 18-55 and 55-200 that I used to pack around. Got fed up with having to lug both and keep swopping lens, but it weights nearly as much as the two others together.

That sounds like a 'Trilander' (aka rattle-bus...)! Aurigny used
to fly them between the islands.

All
Just got back from a week in Jersey. Weather fairly good. did a

lot of

travelling around the island.
For the first time since using digital (10 years ago) actually

ran out

of memory cards, filled the 1gb still and the 8gb video, just

when I

wanted to video the take off and landings.
Unfortunately, yesterday's flight home was delayed see attached

. I

was scheduled for 1205, via BA2773 to Gatwick, actually took off

1830 BA2775.

Turnaround's was done at maximum speed.
The unfortunate pilot of the Islander, fighting a cross wind,

landed

heavily on runway 27, on the left main. Managed to taxi to

taxiway D,

when the main collapsed.
This was about 0830, the runway was shut, the AC had to be

dragged

clear of the runway, and runway repairs made. The runway was

then

declared open at around 1530, there was much cheering. It was a

case

of dump the suitcases in the kitchen, grab a cuppa and toast,

and

straight into bed around 2200ish There where those who's flights

much

earlier, had to wait until the evening until they could get

away. They

had to return their duty free's, go back through security and

unbook,

then rebook and return through security.
