Was surprised when someone tried to resurrect it. I would suggest the name Flybe be consigned to the aviation history books. No one is going to trust a company with that name having gone bust again.

Thoughts today with the staff and the passengers who were due to fly with them.

Sad, but it had a feel of inevitability. I'm sure it will be back one day, maybe for a little longer.

It's hydraulically powered but can still work, basically like a car when power steering goes.

The AAIB▸ (Air Accident Investigation Branch) report is going to be interesting.

I had forgotten all about that. It wasn't that exciting as it happens. The summary says:

Quote
Summary:
G-JECK was to be flown from Aberdeen Airport to Weeze Airport, Germany. The aircraft had been in storage at Aberdeen since March 2020 and was parked on a self-manoeuvring stand which had a 1° slope. During the pre-departure checks, the chocks were removed from both the mainwheels and the nosewheels. The hydraulic pressure in the park brake system subsequently reduced to the point where the brakes could no longer prevent G JECK from moving, and the aircraft rolled across a taxiway before colliding with G-SAJS, which was parked on an adjacent stand. There were no injuries

The full AAIB report includes a photo of the outcome on page 48, and others of the incident later.
