Is that the one that flew your car over to France from Lydd (Sorry - “London Ashford”)?
I think that was Silver City, not seen it mentioned here but it was international smile

I had a couple of German domestic flights with Luftfahrtgesellschaft Walter. They had little Dornier 228s. The inflight service was handing round a thermos flask of hot coffee. Each flight was an adventure. I remember taking their Dresden to Dortmund direct flight. No sooner had we reached cruising altitude, we started descending again. No announcement from the crew, but we made an unscheduled stop in nearby Leipzig to pick up another bunch of passengers: there was also another flight from there to Dortmund, but because both flights were half empty, they had decided to combine the two.

Best story was from a colleague who used them weekly. Having taken off from Dortmund, they circled back round and landed immediately: they had forgotten to close the door properly…

They ended operations in 2020.
