Until recently every year since the early 1970s an 'Annual Report' has been compiled by Liverpool aviation enthusiasts - a mix of listing every aircraft to have landed or departed Liverpool during the year, listing airlines, registration nationalities, resident aircraft along with an account of changes to scheduled and inclusive tour airline routes, changes on and around the airport, and a look forward to the future year.
While somewhat specialised in their appeal, they are exceptionally useful when looking back for visits by a particular aircraft, airline, route flown etc., and a fantastic factual resource for future airport historians. The last one to be completed and posted was for 2014 - started by Dave Graham and finished, not totally satisfactorily, by myself with help.

I am currently struggling with a Review for 2017 and starting to prepare for the Review for 2018. The process to do the whole complete and thorough job is far more time consuming than I have time to spend on it.
I would be delighted for some help for both 2017 and 2018. The list of visiting aircraft is generated using the Find, Sort and Filter functions on an Excel file of all 12 months worth of visiting aircraft movements. I have that, the registration nationalities and the Resident aircraft listing in hand. If you have a look at 2014 'Annual Review' what I need is a volunteer (or team of volunteers) to tackle the Airline and routes section; Charter and freight activity; changes in and around the terminal/airfield; the visiting airlines list; the 'outstanding visitor of the month' list. Naturally I would help - I can do the 'lists' no issue, it is the 'text' sections where help would be very much appreciated. If any one has, for their own use compiled lists of airlines visiting, or lists of particular groups of aircraft registrations to cross-check with my lists it would be great.
The timetable for posting the Annual report for 2017 is currently prior to Christmas (the lists and tables are nearly there) without help the text sections will be brief - although can be added-in later. For 2018 the hope is to have the tables ready by the last week in January 2019, again it is the text sections which are the issue.
I would eventually like to work back and cover 2015 and 2016 lists and tables (at least) and restore the 'Annual Reports' back to a complete coverage for near 50 years - indeed longer as I have already added 1960-1966 and am working on the 50s decade, the late 60s and into the early 70s - so many compiled in a few years, which is the main reason I have become 'stale' when it comes to generating the current ones too.
