This was one of two Queen's flight Andovers which appeared in the month, XS789 Andover C2 Queen's Flight Speke 21 July 1965 by Ron Turner, on Flickr A classic colour scheme in every sense of the word:- PH-DAC DC-3 Shreiner Airways Speke 12 July 1965 by Ron Turner, on Flickr LN-RTE DC-3 Polaris Air Transport, Speke, 4th July 1965 by Ron Turner, on Flickr I think this Skyvan was engaged in some kind of test flying. It made at least two visits to Speke. G-ASCN Shorts Skyvan Shorts_Air Alpi 21 July 1965 Speke by Ron Turner, on Flickr G-ARMX HS748 Skyways Coach Air. Speke 28 May 1965 by Ron Turner, on Flickr This Viscount was being used on services for Cambrian Airways for a week. G-APTA Viscount V702 Channel Airways 21 July 1965 Speke by Ron Turner, on Flickr I never flew in an Ambassador. I hear they were nice to fly in. This aircraft did not suit the Dan Air Colour scheme:- G-AMAH Airspeed Ambassador Dan Air Speke 8th July 1965 by Ron Turner, on Flickr Even if from a technical point of view, Ambassadors were still capable, I reckon by now the "No Smoking" laws would do for them. I bet for us at the time, it was all part of the fun.
