Looks like 7637 and 7652 might have to stay a whilst longer.

How long has 6024 been out of action, I'm sure I've seen it out on the 699 in the last month or two

Yeah, same here. IIRC, it was reported as withdrawn last summer but went back into use when the 699 started up again.

They must have finally repaired it, I tend not to pay attention to withdrawn/DP stock anymore, but if it is damaged beyond economical repair, which does seem very likely, it won't be fixed.

Cadet 2426 is coming from Laird St to replace a burnt out 6005.

Capacity wise hardly a replacement - and if that's not an issue why bother with the bendis at all?

They could use the former airlink commanders 2601/2 on the 500 as they still have there luggage racks and a couple of ALX400 B7TLs and do away with the bendies completely.
