VISITING AIRCRAFT LOGS
1959 - AN INTRODUCTION
1959 - AN INTRODUCTION
AIRLINE ACTIVITY
B.E.A. for the second half of the 50s decade the Irish Sea operations operated with little change, the network featuring Manchester, Liverpool, Isle of Man and Belfast being operated by their Douglas C-47 Dakota fleet. A few Viscount flights can be found in the logs, mostly weather diversions from elsewhere. It would be at the start of April 1960 that B.E.A. Viscounts would be first used on their Irish Sea routes on a regular basis.
There is one notable flight during February when a B.E.A. Viscount called to collect a consignment of Salk vaccine (against Polio) urgently required from a Merseyside pharmaceutical manufacturer.
Aer Lingus became the first operator from Liverpool to use pressurised turboprop aircraft on all their scheduled Liverpool services from the end of March. There was still use of their Dakotas, on mail, freight and charter flights, while in high season Viscount 800s were used to provide additional capacity.
Cambrian Airways was rejuvenated by B.E.A. injecting funds and re-commenced operations in March 1959. Their previous fleet of 3 Herons, 2 Dakotas and a Dove was replaced by 3 former B.E.A. Dakotas with only a single Heron and a single Dove (which was then written off in July) from the previous fleet retained. In the summer the Dakotas operated twice daily into Liverpool, but where from and to, and what connections were available is obscure.
Starways commenced a new summer scheduled service to St.Mawgan (Newquay) on 13th June using a Skymaster. A number of their summer I/T flights now originated at Glasgow, picking up passenger at Liverpool en route using the extra capacity of the Skymaster aircraft. The Heathrow scheduled service was operated mostly by Dakotas. For the winter one of the Skymasters was leased out to Arabian Airlines for Hadj pilgrimage flights from 16th October (returned to Speke 5th April 1960).
Federated Fruit started the year with two Ansons and a Dragon Rapide. One of the Ansons departed out on lease in March and did not return until January 1960, so for most of the year a single Anson and a Dragon Rapide operated flights to collect vegetables and mushrooms for parent company Federated Fruit and operate charter flights when required.
AERO CLUB ACTIVITY
After the death of the owner in a flying accident the previous summer the Merseyside and North Wales Flying Group was struggling. A further Auster was sold during 1959, with just one Auster surviving with the Group. This was sold in 1960, but replaced with a Tiger Moth. This was sold in May 1962 and the Merseyside and North Wales Flying Group ceased flying. Jim Keen and his Liverpool Aero Club would start flying in 1963.
OTHER BASED AIRCRAFT
The two privately owned Austers and Aircraft Associates Beech Bonanza continued to be based at Speke. Aircraft Associates also brought their newly acquired Bellanca 260 and a newer Bonanza to Speke, although all 3 aircraft did spend extended periods at Dublin and elsewhere. Stanley Estates and Lord Derby sold their Piper Apache and acquired a Piaggio P.166 as a replacement in 10/59. The Piaggio was operated at times from Knowsley Park airfield on the estate.
FINAL THum FLIGHT FLIGHTS
The THum (Temperature and Humidity Flight) daily Mosquito TT.35 visits from RAF Woodvale, calling at the conclusion of their observation and recording flight came to an end on 1st May 1959. These flights had been calling at Liverpool regularly since summer 1953, initially using Spitfire PR.19s. The Logs do little more than note the first and last visit of the year by each of the Flight’s aircraft.
EVENTS AND TYPES TO LOOK FOR:
While it is known that Starways operated charter flights for the local football teams or their supporters earlier during the second half of the 50’s decade, these are largely unrecorded in the ‘Visiting aircraft logs’. Two charters with fans for FA Cup games are recorded in January 1958. The ‘Munich Disaster’ of February 1958 may have put clubs off flying, however the very first mention of a football team charter is in the 1959 records. In January 1959 a D.H. Heron of Manx Airlines brought in Newcastle FC to play Liverpool FC on Saturday 24th, with 16 passengers in both directions, so barely room for the team, substitutes the manager and team coach aboard, plus kit. At that time Everton FC were in the English First Division and Liverpool FC in the Second Division, playing in European competitions was still a few years off.
Look for Curtiss C-46 and Douglas C-47 charters operated by Fred Olsen. Also the great variety of charters by British operators using Dakotas, Vikings, Bristol Freighters, Herons, Doves and Dragon Rapides. There are some very long haul charter flights too, a HP Hermes on 18th July, two Skymasters during the first week of October and an Argonaut on 22nd October.
Two G.A. types to have you reaching for Wikipedia are a Bolsavia Mercurey on 13th May and a KZ.III on 6th June. Signs of the impending invasion of American all metal singles area small number of different Bonanzas.
Look to for several visits by French Air Force Noratlas aircraft and Varsity, Valletta and numerous Avro C.19 on liaison duties. The final THum Flight Mosquito operated on 1st May 1959.
SOURCE MATERIAL FOR THE 1959 LOG
1959 is the first year the records attempt to cover the scheduled airliners of Aer Lingus, BEA and Cambrian, by recording the first visit of the year by each aircraft. However this initiative seems to have been lost part way through the year, so not all BEA and Aer Lingus C-47 Dakotas are listed, nor is Cambrian's Heron G-AOGU (if indeed it did visit in 1959). Some BEA Dakotas not in the logs, do appear in the Annual Summary after the Visitor's Log as they were found in the Airport Movement Ledger.
While the 1959 Visiting Aircraft Log relies heavily on Phil Butler's transcripts of the ATC Tower Log on a weekly basis during the year, amazingly the Airport Commercial Traffic Ledger for the period 1st October 1958 to 31st December 1959 survives in the Liverpool Reference Library (M352AIR Box 1890 M35). It lists all commercial flights, passenger numbers, flight numbers, registration, but unfortunately not where the aircraft arrives from/depart to. Information in the MGAE 'Northern Aeronews' is often the source of additional comment in the final column.

From this point onward, daily visits by Aer Lingus Friendships are no longer recorded, as
with the summer schedules all Aer Lingus Liverpool passenger flights are timetabled to be
operated by Friendships, although their Dakotas continued to call on charters and freight.
However the Traffic Ledgers show all scheduled flights operated by Friendships from Sun 15/03.
