BE9L G-ORTH in 13:10 at as ENZ616P from Southend.

Departed 14:00 ENZ616 to Manchester.

Definitely flying for Jota now.  I wonder if Gorthair is defunct...

Huh, didn't realise until I went digging that G-ORTH is linked to G-VIPI ( frequent Belfast City ) visitor through Mr Paul Crowther, director of innumerable charter companies over the years and currently listing G-ORTH in his Atlantic Marine fleet:

G-ORTH itself was repossessed from one of Mr Crowther's previous business ventures in the late-2000s but he managed to re-acquire it in 2010!  Must like the 40-year-old airframe.

I haven't yet worked-out the connection between Interflight ( under whose callsign G-VIPI flies ) and G-VIPI's actual ownership, though interestingly Mr Crowther has yet another company, Avtech, registered beside Interflight at Westerham.   ???
