1962 ANNUAL REVIEW OF ACTIVITY AIRPORT TERMINAL AND INFRASTRUCTUREFollowing on from improvements to the runways, taxiways and apron during winter 1961/62, the improvements during winter 1962/63 concentrated on the terminal’s passenger areas. The main, front entrance was modified with a large canopy, full-width double glass doors and a re-modelled central foyer with a new reception desk and flight arrival/departure board and WH Smith newsstand moved across to a larger space, swopped over with the Dan Air check-in area. The café was remodelled in the east wing downstairs and the bar in a central position upstairs. The car park between the front entrance and Hangar No.2 was extended slightly too if memory serves correctly. SCHEDULE SERVICE OPERATORSB.E.A.At the start of the year, all services were operated by the Manchester based V.701 Viscount fleet, with many flights routing Ringway-Speke-Ronaldsway-Nutts Corner (Manchester-Liverpool-Isle of Man-Belfast). However from the start of the summer season, on 1st April, some Belfast rotations were flown by Birmingham based V.800 Viscount routing Elmdon-Speke-Nutts Corner. The direct flight to Belfast led to a significant increase in Northern Ireland traffic. This arrangement continued through the winter to March 1963. V.701 Viscounts: G-ALWF, G-AMNZ, G-AMOA, G-AMOB, G-AMOC, G-AMOD, G-AMOE, G-AMOF, G-AMOG, G-AMOH, G-AMOI, G-AMOJ, G-AMOK, G-AMOL, G-AMON, G-AMOO, G-AMOP, G-ANHA, G-ANHB, G-ANHD, G-ANHE, G-ANHF, G-AOFX (23). Plus V.802 and V.806 Viscount aircraft drawn from the Birmingham base. STARWAYSOn April 2nd 1962, Starways introduced a Hawarden (Chester) stop on some of the Heathrow services, followed on May 19th by the addition of Blackpool as a traffic stop on the Liverpool to Glasgow service. On June 1st they opened a thrice weekly scheduled service between Liverpool and the new airport at Cork. Without a timetable for 1962, I am uncertain of the status of other summer only scheduled services. During 1962 the inclusive tour programme was flown almost entirely at weekends, mostly by Skymster and Viscount aircraft. At the end of the year a former Tradair Viscount 700, G-APZB, joined the Starways’ fleet, while in December Skymaster G-APYK was being prepared for sale. Douglas Dakotas: G-AMPO, G-AMPY, G-AMSN (3) Douglas Skymasters: G-APEZ, G-APYK, G-ARIY and leased-in G-APID (from 5.62) (4) V.700 Viscount: G-ARIR, and G-APZB (arr 11.62) AER LINGUSAer Lingus continued the pattern of the previous years, with passenger flights scheduled to use Friendships (although Viscounts would be substituted when required) with Dakotas and Viscounts on freight flights which included a number of aircraft each Saturday night to transport British Sunday newspapers to Dublin. Friendships: EI-AKA, EI-AKB, EI-AKC, EI-AKD, EI-AKE, EI-AKF, EI-AKG (7) Viscounts: EI-AJI, EI-AJJ, EI-AJK, EI-AKK, EI-AKL, EI-AKO, EI-ALG plus EI-AMA (del 4.62) (8) Dakotas: EI-ACD, EI-ACE, EI-AHG, EI-AFA, EI-AFC (5) CAMBRIANThe Channel Islands-Cardiff-Speke service ran throughout the year with a considerable increase in the number of rotations during the summer season, operated by Dakota aircraft. Dakotas: G-AGHM, G-AGHS, G-AGIP, G-AHCZ, G-ALCC, G-ALXL, G-AMFV, G-AMJX (8) unchanged from ’61. DAN AIRThe Bristol-Liverpool-Newcastle service continued through the year, operated by Doves or more usually Dakota aircraft. On Tuesday 9th January 1962 Dan Air commenced a twice-weekly connection direct to Rotterdam by Dove or Dakota aircraft. The Dove and Dakota fleet was unchanged on that at the end of 1961. DH.Doves: G-AIWF, G-ALVF (2) Dakotas: G-AMPP, G-AMSS, G-AMSU (3) BKS AIR TRANSPORTDue to the airline facing financial difficulties, it did not re-commence the Dublin car ferry operation for summer 1962. However this was not the end for BKS and they will reappear in these accounts during the mid ‘70s. TRANSMERIDANWhat today would be known as a ‘start-up’ operator began crew training at Speke with two Douglas Skymaster aircraft in October, although both aircraft had been at Liverpool for much of the summer either with Starways, then maintenance or on overhaul. Liverpool would be the maintenance base, with Luton the operational base. No sooner had training commenced than one of the aircraft, G-APID, had the undercarriage collapse on landing at Liverpool. The aircraft was repaired sufficiently to be flown to Prestwick for full repairs by Scottish Aviation. It was with G-ARXJ that the first operational freight flights were flown in late December. Skymasters: G-APID, G-ARXJ (2) INCLUSIVE TOUR FLIGHTS, EURAVIAA significant year, as for the first time a season-long programme of flights was operated by an airline other than Starways or Aer Lingus. Euravia Airways operated a fortnightly I/T to Valencia using their Constellation aircraft, with the service commencing on 20th May 1962. The flights were not as punctual as they could have been, leading to the spotter’s quip ‘due on Sunday, see it on Monday’. Nevertheless a successful season, and to be repeated summer 1963. Constellations: G-ARVP, G-ARXE (2) although a third a/c G-AHEN was not used into Liverpool in 1962. OTHER OPERATIONSAD-HOC PASSENGER CHARTERSAd Hoc charters continued, although at a decreasing rate with far fewer flights to and from the near Continent by Silver City, Derby Airways or BUA. In mid May two (or maybe three) day return charters operated from Cornwall and Devon; but overall there were fewer domestic day-return inbound charters. Braathens flights continued, using a DC-6, a Skymaster, Dakotas and now Friendships, thought mostly on ship’s crew charters along with Fairways, Martin’s Air Charter and Wideroes. An interesting ad-hoc charter brought in Globe-Air of Switzerland from Basle twice using their Ambassador aircraft and a Balair Skymaster in September. A further ‘one-off’ charter brought in a TAI/Air Inter Skymaster in February from Paris which stopped overnight. Why these charters operated was not recorded, if indeed even known, at the time. FOOTBALLEverton were the first of Liverpool’s teams in a European competition, playing in the Inter-City Fairs’ Cup in season 1962/1963. However it was an inauspicious start as they did not progress further than their first round home and away games against Dunfermline Athletic in October ’62. No evidence in the logs of any charter flights, but if Starways had been used it is unlikely that flights would have been recorded. FREIGHTDuring May there was an irregular, but fairly frequent freight charter operating between Liverpool and Belfast using BKS Bristol Freighters. DIVERSIONSIncredibly few inbound diversions are recorded in the logs. There may have been a few more involving aircraft regularly seen on Speke schedules, so were of limited interest at the time, other than that there are just 2 airliners recorded as diverting in due to weather, an Aer Lingus Viscount in January and a BUA Viscount away from Manchester in February. There were also a RAF Devon diverting away from RAF Jurby in October and two US Navy aircraft with ‘technical’ problems, a Trader in March and a C-117 Super Dakota in December. GENERAL AVIATIONLiverpool’s sole Flying Club, the ‘Merseyside and North Wales Flying Group’ run by Bert Green effectively ceased trading when their sole aircraft, Tiger Moth G-ANEE was sold and departed in May 1962. This ended a chapter of pilot training at Liverpool that can be traced back to 1949 and Wright Aviation’s ‘Liverpool Flying School’. This left Liverpool without any Aero Club pilot training school activity until Jim Keen founded his Liverpool Aero Club in 1963, which will be covered in the notes for 1963. In general terms the invasion of American built GA types continued, with ever increasing numbers of Beechcraft, Pipers and Cessnas. One type that created quite a stir whenever it appeared was Grumman Mallard G-ASCS, which although based at Chester was maintained by Starways at Liverpool. Three sporting events brought in a number of GA visitors. The Aintree Grand National at the end of March is familiar, but the Aintree 200 motor racing meet in late April and the British F1 Grand Prix run at Aintree in mid-July may surprise some. AIR DISPLAY 1962When Liverpool City Council took back operation of the Airport in January 1961 one of the aims of the Airport Director and the Airport Committee was to increase the ‘profile’ of the Airport in the local area. One way to get the local population involved was with an Air Display. So on Saturday 26th May the Airfield was invaded by thousands of spectators for only the second Post War display at the Airport (the first was in 1956). A number of types not normally seen at Speke were involved such as the Avro Shackleton, Hawker Hunter, DH Vampire, Gloster Meteor, Jet Provost, and even a Sedbergh glider! The USAF performed flypasts with an RB-66, Voodoos and Super Sabres, the Royal Navy provided quite a spectacle with an aerobatic formation team of 5 Sea Vixens, while Aer Lingus made a low pass with one of their new Boeing 720 aircraft, complete with a load of passengers! There is a full report and list of aircraft attending on: derbosoft.proboards.com/thread/130MILITARYIn addition to the military involvement in the Air Display, a number of aircraft called during the year, many on communications flights, others to collect Liverpool based TA paratroops for exercise, plus Chipmunks from Woodvale and Whirlwind ‘Rescue’ helicopters from RAF Valley for fuel. Types seen included Beverleys, Hastings, Varsity, Ansons, Pioneer, Chipmunks and Whirlwinds. The Royal Navy called with their Sea Herons on several occasions and an Army Beaver visited. The Irish Air Corps passed through several times with their Doves, while early summer within a period of just a few weeks, 3 USAF Dakotas called. The US Navy twice diverted into Speke with technical problems, a Trader in March and a C-117 Super Dakota in December, along with a SNB-5 (Beech 18) in April. The West German Air Force called twice with Noratlas aircraft to collect freight, while two pairs of Pioneers passed through on the first leg of their delivery flight from Prestwick to the Royal Malaysian Air Force. SUMMARY OF THE YEAR’S ACTIVITYAIRCRAFT & TYPES IN 1962A total of 456 aircraft of 73 different types landed or departed from Speke during 1962. The total of different aircraft showed a fair rise on the previous year, with the number of different types rising by near 50%, and not just due to military types appearing in the air display. Of the 456 aircraft, 324 were UK civilian, 66 overseas civilian and 66 military serials. AIRLINES & NATIONALITIES IN 1962In 1962 aircraft operated by 18 British airlines and 11 overseas operators appeared at Liverpool. A total of 29 airlines, 5 up on the previous year. New airlines in 1962 were: Eros, Euravia, Jersey, Trans European , Tyne Tees, Worldwide, TAI, Globeair, Balair, Flying Enterprise, Wideroes and LOT; while Air Safaris, Channel, Cunard Eagle, Tradair, Falcon, Continentale and Fred Olsen did not repeat in 1962. Civilian aircraft bearing the markings of only 9 nationalities appeared in 1962, a total 2 down on the previous year, with N, USA; OE-Austria and OO- Belgium not being seen, but new in ’62 was SP- Poland. The number of foreign registered aircraft was slightly up on 1961. The number of different British registered aircraft rose from 285 to 324, foreign registered civil from 57 to 66 and military aircraft from 53 to 66, the total rising from 395 to 456 – so making 1962 a good year for the ‘spotter’. Military aircraft from 8 Air Arms of 5 Nations called in 1962. New in ’62 were an aircraft of the British Army, the West German Air Force and aircraft on delivery to the Royal Malaysian Air Force. Due in part to the Air Display, military aircraft were up in number to 66. RESIDENTS LISTING – 1962During 1962 the number of residents remained fairly constant, with 28 different resident aircraft at various times during the year. To those 23 present at the start of the year can be added 5 arriving and 8 departing, with 20 present at the end of the year. Debated as to whether Skymasters G-APID and G-ARXJ should be resident, based aircraft or just temporary resident. Indeed G-APID spent much of the year at Speke, but on lease or overhaul, rather than resident. These listings come down to personal criteria, hopefully applied fairly consistently across the years. The temporary and under maintenance sections of the Residents Listing are ‘catch all’ sections, so that information does not slip through the net unrecorded. Several of the Liverpool established light aircraft owners upgraded their aircraft during the year, however J. Dougherty sold his unusual Meta Sokol without replacing it. Reg Gates, who had formerly owned Federated Air Transport purchased another Dragon Rapide for his own use, however did not sell his original aircraft, but from July stored it unflown.

CREDITS & COPYRIGHTAs already stated, the original recording in 1962 was the painstaking work of Phil Butler. However this Review was helped by a summary of annual activity created by Tony Williams in 1978 for MAS ‘Flypast’ magazine. This electronic version, with extended notes and greater detail, produced by Brian Jones, between November 2014 and December 2015, with assistance from Phil Butler. It is anticipated that this should NEVER be copied as a whole, other than for personal reference (for which the Excel version is much superior) and certainly should NEVER be copied and pasted in its entirety or major part elsewhere on the net. If small amounts of information are extracted for use on the web, then due credit should be given to Phil Butler, Brian Jones and nwan forum.
