Guernsey Air Ferries is a privately-owned airline based in the British Crown Dependency of Guernsey. It's branding uses a stylized G made to look like a crossbow which I have to say I find quite aesthetically pleasing. This particular aircraft - G-OMIB - flew with the Royal Imperial Air Company for almost 20 years before being sold to Guernsey Air Ferries. In 1974, it was damaged while landing in Alderney. Unable to afford the repair, GAF sold the plane to InterBank AG which fixed it and then converted it to a VIP aircraft, operating it for six years after that.

Aurigny is a cuter name.
Aurigny is a cuter name.
The name is loosely based on British United Air Ferries (which later became British Air Ferries and then British World Airlines), which started out as a subsidiary of British United and specialized in service across the channel, including to the Channel Islands. Apart from that, I'm really not imaginative enough with names to come up with something like Aurigny...

I'm well aware of BUA; I fly regularly with an ex-British World BAC 1-11 captain.
