 Unfortunately when I was waiting for my Flybe flight to Dublin, Republic of Ireland there wasn't a lot of Southampton flights during the winter there were only lots of domestic flights, Common Travel Area to Isle of Man, Channel Islands & Ireland and some international flights to Amsterdam, Paris and few more.


I arrived in Southampton Airport at before 11am I came across this aircraft. Flybe G-JECF Bombardier Dash 8 Q400 new to Flybe in 2004 nicknamed Adam Stansfield from Exeter City. The reason Flybe named Adam Stansfield he died of cancer at the age of 31 in 2010. Flybe is the main hub for Southampton Airport.
