Would that be the skyservice that is (or was 2 years ago) doing MYT ops.

Could be doing any ops really - most winters UK charter operators lease their aircraft to North American operators - Skyservice, USA 3000 etc. When these come back they are still incorrectly branded and can be used in service, thus in theory it was Skyservice but could have been Thomas Cook, MyTravel, Air2000. Or it could have actually been in Canada, I don't know

My Travel Airways and First Choice lease some of their a/c to SSV... the a/c are Canadian Registered and are flown by Canadian crews....... they fly out of Canada during the busy winter season... then My Travel Airways leased a/c return back to the UK for the busy British Summer season, operated by Canadian flight deck and MYT cabin crew.
Yep... most of the reg's are CGT..

About seven years ago I could have sneaked aboard a Mig 17. Nope. Bit too risky that one....

I still live for the day when the aircraft cockpit I've been in is mine. For the time being, break out the flight sim, plug in the joystick, and wish for a faster PC.
