THE SPEKE VISITING AIRCRAFT LOGS FOR 1968 1 9 6 8
There is a major issue with the 1968 Logs at present, however not sufficient to prevent them being posted now. A fair while ago, while working on the Excel files around 30 lines corrupted and stored unnoticed for some time. As the original hand-written log books had been returned by then to Phil Butler, only some of the easier ones have had a possible date worked out from other sources. The questions were aimed at myself, which is why these entries came to be abstracted. Sometime (soon hopefully!) I will get a look at the Logs again and be able to place these entries with certainty back into the correct sequence. For information the affected entries are: 12.01.68 G-AVKN Cessna 401 f&t East Midlands Coltex Ltd (ownership changed during 3/68) 24.03.68 LN-NPB PA-31 Turbo Navajo 325 Oslo/ENCB-Hawarden, dep 26th Busy Bee, likely to collect their HS.125 24.05.68?

RESIDENT AIRCRAFT DURING 1968 A resident aircraft is considered one which the owner keeps at Liverpool, although Airport accounts would say one which the owner has a contract with airport for landing fees. However the definition is not that easy. An owner can move their aircraft around between homes, or it can be here (or away) for very extended overhaul while awaiting parts, for storage on behalf of the owner, or leased in (or out) by a Liverpool company for a limited time. The number of aircraft we consider based at Liverpool during the year increased from 22 to 31, partly due to a greater rate of turn-over as newer aircraft replace an older one. Most interesting aircraft during this period was the Mosquito TT.35 TA634. After several years in storage since arrival 6th November 1963,it was removed from Hangar 39 over the weekend of 17-19th May this was readied again for flight in Hangar No.2. Now allocated civil registration G-AWJV it departed 17th June for Bovingdon to take part in the film ‘Mosquito Squadron’ and returned 16th July still in the colours used during the film and nose modified to appear like an FB.VI version.

REVIEW OF AIRPORT, AIRLINES AND ACTIVITY AT LIVERPOOL AIRPORT 1968 AIRPORT TERMINAL AND INFRASTUCTUREINTERNATIONAL ARRIVALS & DEPARTURE HALLPlans were announced early in the year for the conversion of part of No.2 hangar at the west end of the terminal building into an International Terminal with check-in, lounge, catering and Customs facilities. The existing Customs annex in the terminal building would then be used to extend the airline office and check-in areas. Estimated cost of the construction and conversion work £32,000. With completion in time for summer 1969. The conversion of the hangar was delayed, the actual conversion of building use was undertaken winter 1970/1971, completed May 1971. NEW TERMINAL ON THE SOUTH AIRFIELDA sub-committee of the Airport Committee, also early in the year, recommended the re-phasing of the new terminal development. This to be constructed in three stages, rather than two. First construction of a new control tower adjacent to the new runway, with construction work expected to start during 1968; then a 10/28 (as it was then) runway extension to 10,500ft; the final stage now being the terminal building, however as this has moved backwards in the plans, detail design work has been suspended. History of course shows that none of these proposals left the paperwork they were written on for some 15 or so years. INSTRUMENT LANDING SYSTEM ON RUNWAY 28The extra lighting required on runway 28 came into operational service early in the year. The full certification of the I.L.S. system has been delayed due to a ‘kink’ in the ILS glide-slope. However, a new type of glide-slope aerial was fitted by Standard Telephone & Cables during the early summer that overcame this difficulty. A new problem then delayed formal Board of Trade approval of the Cat.III system which required modification to the emergency approach-lighting generators. A 9 second delay between failure of the public electricity supply and the switching-in of the emergency system had to be reduced to 3 seconds. This problem was overcome in August and from September there were a number of flights involving BAC.111-500 aircraft and later Trident 2 aircraft in connection with approving the Cat.III ‘Autoland’ installation in those aircraft. On April 4th the ‘OE’ (Oscar Echo) NDB beacon was moved from its old site serving Runway 26, and re-sited in Runcorn, in line with Runway 28. FAILURE OF BRITISH EAGLEAs Liverpool Airport’s premier airline and operator of the prestigious London route, along with a major maintenance facility the financial failure of Harold Bamberg’s British Eagle on 6th November 1968 would have reverberations for years to come. The immediate result was redundancies and the shutdown of the Heathrow, Glasgow and presumably Frankfurt schedules. Cambrian replaced British Eagle fairly quickly on the Heathrow route on a temporary basis but it took well in to 1969 before the ATLB (Air Transport Licensing Board) split the routes up, and then in a way that did not sit well with the airlines who wished to operate them. TRAVELING ABROADDevaluation of Sterling in November 1967 reduced the purchase value of the Pound abroad by 15%. In addition there was a £50 per person limit imposed to the amount of money that could be taken abroad by holiday makers. This was to have a big effect, changing the pattern of British holiday spending during 1968 all of which made 1968 a tough year for Inclusive Tour holiday companies. SCHEDULED SERVICE OPERATORSMuch of my knowledge about the schedule in June 1968 comes from an Airport timetable, which is hopefully a fairly good reflection of what did actually happen that month. To that is added is added knowledge of changes to scheduled routes and snippets gleaned from the visiting aircraft logs – however these generally totally ignore scheduled and inclusive tour services except for recording the first visit of the year by the various aircraft involved. BRITISH EAGLE (EG)BAC.111: G-ATPH, G-ATPI. G-ATPJ, G-ATPK (ret from Swissair lease May), G-ATPL Viscounts: G-ANRS, G-AOCB (sold 3.68), G-AOCC (sold 2.68), G-ATDR (leased to Air France from April), G-ATDU, G-ATFN (w/o 8.68) Domestic schedules operated to Heathrow, Heathrow via Chester, Glasgow and summer only to Newquay. The basic frequency to Heathrow was 5 x BAC.111 plus a Viscount via Chester daily Monday to Friday with a BAC.111 on Saturdays and a Viscount on Sundays. To Glasgow there were 2 return flights, Monday to Friday by Viscount, no weekend service. During 1968 the Heathrow link came under increasing competition from the newly electrified rail link to the capital. The summer only Newquay operated on Sunday by Viscount, with clearly time to do a ‘W’ service between the outbound and return legs. Frankfurt had become a year round destination having been operated during winter 1967/68 with a BAC.111 routing via Manchester in both directions. For summer 1968 international flights from Liverpool were a late morning/early afternoon BAC.111 rotation to Frankfurt Monday to Friday and 6 rotations to 3 holiday destinations served overnight by BAC.111. Palma, Ibiza and Rimini were served as scheduled services, not I/T charter, although some seats were block-booked and marketed as I/Ts by Lunn Poly and Everyman. Palma was served Sunday, Wednesday, Friday, Ibiza Thursday with Rimini on Tuesday and Saturday (this was in addition to the Viscount weekly I/T charter there). By June ’68 the Cork connection had been dropped. No Ostend flight operated summer ’68. Throughout 1968 engineering work on the Britannia fleet continued in No.1 hangar. Two Britannias were converted to incorporate a large freight door, G-AOVM completed February and G-AOVF completed in August. Several Britannias arrived from October for winter storage at Liverpool and were still present when the company failed in early November. CAMBRIAN (CS)Viscounts: G-ALWF, G-AMNZ, G-AMOA, G-AMOC, G-AMOE, G-AMOG, G-AMOH, G-AMOJ, G-AMON, G-AMOO, G-AMOP. A new colours scheme appeared during January with a white fuselage and tail, with a maroon rising cheat line, Cambrian titles and dragon logo on a arrowhead logo on the tail. First appeared on G-AMOJ, G-AMOO and G-AMOP. Following the injection of further funding in November 1968 by B.E.A., both Cambrian and B.K.S. were brought together under B.E.A. control as British Air Services, although kept their own marketing names. In November a new scheme appeared on Cambrian’s Viscounts with a red broad cheat-line through the windows, a chalky mid blue tail with a very stylised dragon motif in red, with British Air Services titles. The new scheme first appeared on G-AMOA and G-AMOP. The programme of flights by Cambrian as shown in the June Airport timetable is difficult to summarise. However the Isle of Man is served by 3 rotations 7 days a week with an additional 4 rotations on Sunday and an additional through service LPL-IOM-BFS-IOM-LPL Sunday to Friday. Belfast served by just one return flight 7 days a week, using departing Liverpool in the morning and returning late evening, and there is the BKS afternoon rotation too (see below). In addition the Isle of Man has an early morning freighter 6 days a week Monday-Saturday. And Belfast 2 freighters departing Liverpool late at night Sunday to Friday with 4 freight flights early on Sunday morning primarily for carrying newspapers. There is a 7 days per week combined flight to Jersey and Guernsey, plus Jersey only rotations on Wednesday, Saturday and 4 on Sundays. London/Heathrow (operated alongside British Eagle) has one rotation Monday to Friday, departing Liverpool mid morning, returning early evening. Dublin (operated alongside Aer Lingus) is operated 6 days a week, Monday to Saturday, with a Sunday flight from 23rd. Cork is flown via Manchester in both directions on just Monday and Friday, and Thursday also from 20th. Also in the timetable is a operation to Manchester Monday to Friday, but I’m at a loss to know how the aircraft get back to Liverpool. BKS (BK)Viscounts: only the 800s used through Liverpool. G-AOYH (del 7/68), G-AOYL (del 4/68), G-AOYO (del 4/68, G-APEY (del 4/68). Now linked with Cambrian through British Air Services, BKS operated a single afternoon rotation between Liverpool and Belfast, Monday to Thursday, from 4th November for the winter season. The aircraft operating from Leeds, with through passengers for Belfast as well as collecting more at Liverpool. AER LINGUS (EI)Viscounts: EI-AJI, EI-AJJ, EI-ALG, EI-AMA, EI-AOE, EI-AOG, EI-AOH, EI-AOI, EI-AOJ, EI-AOL, EI-AOM (w/o 3.68), EI-APD. Passenger/freighter (converted during 1967): EI-AJK, EI-AKL, EI-AKO BAC-111s: EI-ANE, EI-ANF, EI-ANG, EI-ANH used as replacement aircraft and to increase capacity at times. The Dublin service was operated by Viscount aircraft throughout the year. Occasionally BAC.111s would be substituted or used to increase capacity. When this occurred it was noted in the Visiting Aircraft Logs. The basic frequency in June was 3 return flights daily, Monday to Friday, 4 rotations on Saturday, with just one on Sunday. Added to this was an extra rotation on Thursday from 20th while one of the Saturday flights moved to Sunday at the end of the month. In addition there was a freighter service Monday to Saturday evenings, now routing direct Dublin-Liverpool-Dublin. DAN AIR (DA)Dakotas: G-AMPP, G-AMSS (sold 11.68), G-AMSU (wfu 3.68). Ambassadors: G-ALZO, G-AMAE, G-AMAG (w/o 9.68), G-AMAH. A highly complex piece of timetabling connected Bristol, Cardiff, Liverpool, Newcastle, Teesside and Amsterdam. In June the timetable stated that either Dakotas or Ambassadors would be used, I suspect that Ambassadors were certainly used regularly on rotations involving Amsterdam. Two aircraft would be used on a Monday, Wednesday and Friday, one on Tuesday and Thursday. Morning flight Early evening flight Monday Newcastle-LPL-Cardiff-Bristol Bristol-Cardiff-LPL-Newcastle Bristol-Cardiff-LPL-Newcastle Newcastle–LPL-Cardiff-Newcastle Tuesday Newcastle-LPL-Amsterdam Amsterdam-LPL-Newcastle Wednesday Newcastle-Teesside-LPL-Cardiff-Bristol Bristol-Cardiff-LPL-Teesside-Newcastle Bristol-Cardiff-LPL-Teesside-Newcastle Newcastle-Teesside-LPL-Cardiff-Bristol Thursday Newcastle-LPL-Amsterdam Amsterdam-LPL-Newcastle Friday Newcastle-LPL-Cardiff-Bristol Bristol-Cardiff-LPL-Newcastle Bristol-Cardiff-LPL-Newcastle Newcastle-LPL-Cardiff-Bristol
Took a while to get that sorted out and think I have it correct that the aircraft night-stopped at Bristol, rather than Cardiff and that the day-stop on Wednesday was at Newcastle rather than Teesside – the timetable is not too clear. CHANNEL AIRWAYS (CW)Viscounts: G-APPC (wfu 9.68), G-APTA, G-APZC, G-ATUE, G-ATVE, G-ATVR, G-AVHK, G-AVIW, G-AVJL. Both G-AVHE & G-AVNJ were with Air Ferry for most of the year and not used on the route. HS.748: only G-ATEH noted as a rare substitute aircraft type. A big development of 1968 was the arrival of a new operator and a new scheduled route to Liverpool from June 17th connecting Liverpool with Southend via East Midlands both ways. The service during the summer was operated by Viscount aircraft twice daily, Monday to Friday. For winter 68/69 the same frequency was maintained, but the aircraft routed via Stansted inbound in the morning and outbound in the evening, no doubt targeting business from Ford’s employees from Dagenham. INCLUSIVE TOUR OPERATIONSBy Britannia (BY). In the Spring Britannia Airways using a Bristol Britannia, operated a short series of Spring Break flights to both Beauvais and Rotterdam (for the bulb fields) with often 2 rotations a day, over a 10 day period. These flights were operated for Clarksons. By British Eagle (EG)). The June timetable shows just one I/T being operated by British Eagle, this to Rimini using a Viscount, departing Saturday late evening, returning Saturday morning. British Eagle also operated BAC.111 schedules to Palma, Ibiza and Rimini, with seats block-booked by tour operators. By Laker Airways (GK). The June timetable shows that Laker operated 4 return flights each weekend from Liverpool, serving 6 destinations: Barcelona, Palma, Ibiza, Lourdes, Genoa and Rome. It is thought that these were on behalf of CTA (Cathedral Touring Agency). This marked CTAs biggest ever Liverpool programme and replaced the former partnership with Paramount and YTA. All were programmed to be operated by Britannia, but from entries in the Visiting Aircraft Log it would appear that some weeks they were flown using BAC.111s. The aircraft would position in Friday morning, then a Lourdes trip during the day. After a night stop the aircraft operate a daytime trip to Palma, then a late evening departure to Barcelona, getting back on Sunday morning. The Sunday day-time rotation was to Ibiza fortnightly on 2nd, 16th, 30th June and on the alternate fortnight, 9th and 23rd to Genoa and Rome, returning in mid evening, then positioning elsewhere. The Aircraft Logs section shows that certainly the Palma and Barcelona season commenced on 1st June. By British Midland (BD). It would appear that there were plans for BMA to operate a Viscount on an I/T to Oporto from Wednesday 5th June. There is only evidence in the logs of a departure on 5th and as nothing mentioned in the June edition of the Airport timetable, it is fair to assume that this holiday series did not operate for long. By Bavarian (BV). For Tyrolean Holidays, Bavaria again operated a fortnightly I/T flying to Munich in the early hours of Sunday morning. In June flights were programmed on 9th and 23rd. The Logs only show an inbound (operated by a Channel aircraft), running late on Monday 10th and no record on 23rd with rotations by a Bavarian aircraft on 8th and 21st July. Possibly the season was then cut short? For Winter 1968/69: The logs show that on 8th November, Autair (OU) took over operation using a BAC.111 of an Inclusive tour service from British Eagle to Palma on a Saturday, which British Eagle was operating for Wrights Travel on a Saturday morning. Autair did not operate the Palma flights for long then passed the operation onto Channel Airways who transported passengers by coach to/from Stansted. However with good Liverpool bookings, Channel using a BAC.111 on 21st and 28th December did fly this I/T from Liverpool. There is no evidence (and there would have been) in the 1969 logs that it continued on beyond the New Year and certainly was not listed in the February ’69 Airport timetable. It would appear that Arrowsmith had also proposed a winter I/T season to Palma on Saturday afternoons to be operated by Laker with BAC.111s. It would appear that this I/T never commenced. OTHER OPERATIONS AD HOC CHARTERSThere were a fair few ad hoc passenger charters during the year. Perhaps the most prestigious were the arrival of an Orchestra from Hungary on a Malev Ilyushin IL-18 on 15th July and on 12th October the departure of the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra to Stuttgart and their return from a European Tour from Amsterdam on 25th October, chartering a British Eagle Britannia for the purpose. Just two Lourdes pilgrimage by charter aircraft are covered in the Logs, with a Laker BAC.111 departing on 7th June, returning on 14th and an Invicta Douglas Skymaster departing 27th July and returning on 2nd September. Another now annual event was the arrival of a party of French students from Lorient on an Aeromaritime DC-6B on 14th August and departure home on 3rd September. A trip which assumed was a passenger charter took a group by Caledonian Britannia to Tel Aviv for a 6 night break in October. Local companies are recorded as chartering aircraft. Vauxhalls used a Polaris Cv.240 in February to transport car dealers and a BMA Viscount to Heathrow on 13th March. While Dunlop used an Aeromaritime DC-6 from and to Paris/Le Bourget in May; but who chartered a Braathens DC-6 to and from Glasgow in May, a BUA Viscount to Ostend in May or a Laker BAC.111 to Gothenburg in August was not recorded, if indeed ever known. A number of passenger charter have all the marks of being with ship’s crews, very possibly tugs. BUA used Dart Heralds on 10 round trips to Rotterdam, and one round trip each to Antwerp, Amsterdam. Braathens also operated through Liverpool with a DC-6B in June and July and a Friendship in October and Polaris with a Cv-240 in May and June. TRANSATLANTIC SERVICESThe ‘glamorous’ top end of travel air travel were transatlantic flights, these being operated on an occasional basis by Britannias and the Boeing 707 – the largest aircraft so far to operate from Speke.

In addition other distant destinations served during 1968: Sun 24.03.68 G-AOVB Bristol 175 Britannia 312F Heathrow-Dakar/Yoff British Eagle, freight charter o/b San 12.10.68 G-ASTF B.175 Britannia 314 Lourdes-Tel Aviv/Lod (LLLD) Caledonian, presumed outbound charter with passengers Thu 17.10.68 G-ASTF B.175 Britannia 314 Tel Aviv/Lod-Gatwick Caledonian, presumed return charter with passengers FOOTBALL CHARTERSIn January Liverpool FC met Ferencvarus of Budapest in a 2nd leg European match. The opposition did not fly into Liverpool – and LFC lost the tie. The following season LFC were again in Europe and drew Athletico Bilao in the first round. LFC flew to Bilbao on a British Eagle Britannia on 24th September. For the 2nd leg Bilbao came to Liverpool on a Douglas DC-7 of TAE on 2nd October. LFC making an early exit from the competition. On Tuesday 24th September Luton supporters flew up to watch their team face Everton in a League Cup clash, travelling on an Autair BAC.111-400 and a Britannia Airways Britannia. AD HOC FREIGHTWhile freight for Fords predominated ‘ad hoc’ charters, another commodity brought in by an increasing number of charters were fresh tomatoes. There had been flights in previous winters with a number of flights late in ’67. The first flight of ’68 being tomatoes from Las Palmas in February by British Eagle Britannia. For winter 68/69 it would be Alicante produced tomatoes with British Eagle Britannias bringing in 7 loads in October and 2 in November and Air Spain carrying a further 3 loads in October and 1 in November. Another perishable commodity which had been transported en route through Liverpool in the past, likely only appeared once in 1968, in August when an Air Ulster Dakota routed Benbecula to Quimper, almost certainly carrying live Lobsters. A dispute by British Rail staff resulted in a go-slow and the cancellation of some night service trains. As a result newspapers were transported by air eg 29th June and 6th July. One result was the arrival at Liverpool of an exotically registered Ugandan Britannia of African Safari Airlines on 7th July. One distant freight destination was served by a British Eagle Britannia which departed for Dakar on 24th March. Aer Turas were frequently noted in the logs operating freight flights from and to Dublin with their Bristol Freighter and Douglas Skymaster aircraft. FORD’S FREIGHTWhile Ford’s had had their plant at Halewood in production since October 1963 the main effect on the airport had been just the occasional executive Gulfstream I movement, which indeed became a little more regular during 1968. Starting in April 1968 (and until Fords moved out in 2001) parts were moved about Europe by air on an ad hoc, when required, basis – usually when there were delays in road or rail transport or a production hiatus. Initially most flights were to the serve the European spares depot at Genk, near Brussels, although there were also flights from Brussels and Cologne. The flow of parts through Liverpool ebbed and flowed. The first month was a particularly busy one, during April no less than 9 British operators were involved: Mortons, Air Ferry, BUA, Skyways Coach Air, Invicta (with a number of flights), Transglobe, Lloyd, BAF and British Eagle using a variety of types with Dakotas, Skymaster, Britannia, Bristol Freighter and Douglas DC-7. The first European operator involved was Bavarian at the end of June, although the most seen European airline during the year was Martinair with Cv.640, DC-6B, DC-7 and DC-9 aircraft. In December, for the first time it was noted that parts were being transported domestically between Halewood and Dagenham by air, using Thurston Aviation with their Islander operating out of Stapleford Tawney. A variation on the Ford’s theme was the transport of whole cars, likely a variant of the newly introduced Escorts, when two Carvair aircraft were used to transport them out to Lisbon during the first week of July. DIVERSIONSThere are in excess of 80 weather diversions recorded in the Logs for 1968, scattered throughout all months of the year. The biggest influx was on Saturday 9th November with 16 arrivals heading for Manchester. Other ‘good’ days were Sunday 11th August with 10 arrivals from Heathrow, Bristol, Cardiff and Manchester affected; Thursday 30th November and Friday 1st December with 13 arrivals from Manchester and 20th February with 7 arrivals from Manchester. Unfortunately, as everyone knew at the time if it had been fog or snow as the cause, the weather conditions were never recorded in the Visiting Aircraft Logs! Not all diversions were the fault of the weather. On Monday 8th April a Cambrian Dakota en route Bristol to Manchester diverted in following an-flight engine shut down. On Tuesday 21st May a Dart Herald is recorded as making a precautionary landing after shutting down one engine and on Saturday 27th July an Air Ulster Dakota diverted in with en route Exeter to Belfast with an engine ‘tech’ issue. MANCHESTER STRIKE CLOSURESA new cause of diversion traffic into Liverpool Airport (and less frequently away from Liverpool) was strike action by airport and handling agency employees. For a two week period in 1968 intermittent strike action at Manchester Airport between Friday 14th June and Monday 1st July brought in just in excess of a 100 flights into Liverpool Airport, flown by 21 different operators. While BEA and Aer Lingus suffered most, excitingly for the enthusiast Air France, KLM, Olympic, JAT, Belair, Sabena, Spantax, Bavarian and Iberia also appeared, although mostly just with a single flight each. A couple of re-programmed flights ran on until 12th July with a Balair to Basle and BUA trooping flights, these Manchester flights operating from Liverpool despite the dispute being settled. TRAINING & AUTOLAND DEVELOPMENTThere is no airline crew training recorded in the logs for 1968 apart from the occasional overshoot. However ‘Autoland’ development and flight test of the installations in aircraft types brought in aircraft, sometimes for a long day of extended circuits. Belfast aircraft appeared 18th January, 21st April and 2nd September. The BAC.111-500 development aircraft G-AVMH on 8 days between 1st August and 11th December, with Trident 2 G-AVFA on 4th October and 12th December. Look at the logs and find that these two aircraft spent some very long days making full autoland approaches and landings. GENERAL AVIATIONPrivate and company flying was in a period of great expansion during the second half of the ‘60s. The motorway network was far from complete and the railways still changing from steam to electric and diesel power. The numbers of American metal aircraft in Britain was expanding rapidly with an increasing flow of imported Piper, Cessna, Beechcraft and Mooney types. Just look through the logs at the variety of company owners and the places these aircraft flew between. It surprises me how many company twins could still use Heathrow regularly and how many RAF stations were visited too. Two regulars might benefit from explanation. The English Electric owned Heron G-ASUU which passed through frequently all year routing between Coventry and Valley and return. This was in connection with the construction of the Nuclear power station at Wylfa on Anglesey. Another regular was Scottish Aviation’s Dove G-AMFU which was much used by Cammell Lairds, Birkenhead. Plessey’ Navajo G-AVZT was a regular sight, as was BICC’s Dove G-ARYM, United Biscuits Commander 560F G-ASYA, Earl of Sefton’s Cessna 310-I G-ASVV, Johnson Cleaner’s Cessna 310J G-ATDL, Robinson Holdings Heron G-ARTI and Bowyers of Swindon’s Twin Comanche G-AVUN being just a few of the most frequently seen. Three fmore normally military types called in civilian marks. Meteor G-ASLW flown by Rolls Royce from Hucknall called on 21st November and Douglas B-26 N400E brought executives from Holiday Inns of America in on 1st May scouting prospective hotel sites. A civilian Beaver G-ANAR called on a photographic sortie twice during March. Worth mentioning to, in period of mostly piston engine twin executive types that Grosvenor Estate’s Goose amphibian appeared in 1968 freshly converted with turbo-prop power plants replacing the former radial engines. Biz Jets were still slowly on the increase, 1968 being the year of the first visit by the Falcon 20, although at the time marketed as the Mystere XX. The HS.125 was popular with British corporate owners, plus aircraft passing through on delivery or customer training from Chester. One G.A. apron incident is worthy of mention as on Tuesday 12th March an Isle of Man based Tri-Pacer aircraft was tipped over while passing behind an engine testing Bristol Britannia G-ANCH. VERNAIR, KEENAIR & FINLANAIRThe Vernon Pools Company had taken delivery of their first aircraft, Queen Air G-AVNG in May 1967. This was operated throughout 1968 as Vernair Transport Services and was cared for by British Eagle. For a while in August 1968 a Dove G-APZU was used while G-AVNG was on annual C of A check. With the collapse of British Eagle in November, Vernair took on their own engineer and early in 1969 rented their own hangar accommodation. At the very end of 1967 Jim Keen acquired Dragon Rapide G-AEML. Although not really intended for air taxi work it showed that there was a gap in market at Liverpool, so in October 1968 an Apache 160 G-ARJW was acquired and offered for air taxi charter work, with a 5 seat capacity. John Finlan had owned a Cherokee then Comanche from Liverpool previously, and moved up to a twin when Aztec 250 G-AWPK was acquired in November 1968 and offered for charter by Finlanair, flown by Cliff Watson. MILITARY ACTIVITYI suspect less activity by the R.A.F. then in previous years. There were Hercules calling in February, June and November and a return by the Argosy in March and April, plus Andover C.1s in October and November. Fewer communications aircraft called in ‘68, just Devons, Pembrokes and a single Basset along with HS.748 Andover CC.2s. A few, mostly RAF Rescue Whirlwinds called for fuel. Biggest surprise was the total lack of even a single Chipmunk T.10 from RAF Woodvale venturing towards the Airport at anytime during the year. The Royal Navy used Sea Herons and Sea Devons, with a fair few together on Friday 15th March for the launch of HMS Revenge at Cammell Lairds. The Army brought in Beavers, Bell 47 Sioux each in fairly small numbers, with a great increase in the numbers of Scout helicopters. There was a single Noratlas of the French Air Force in December, although a military surprise of the year was a Royal Canadian Navy Grumman Tracker on 14th September with mail for a RCN vessel visiting the Mersey. That leaves mention of the Irish Air Corps Dove and information that the Brazilian Air Force landed twice (October and December), back-tracked and departed while on training mission from Hawarden before taking delivery of their HS.125s. USAF & US ARMY ACTIVITYThe US Army was quite active in the first quarter of the year, then quieter for the rest of the year with their communications flights using Burtonwood airfield. Types used into Liverpool being the U- Seminole (Twin Bonanza), U-1A Otter and H-34 Choctaw (S-58) helicopter, no U-8F (Queen Air) aircraft seen in 1968. The USAF visited on a fairly regular basis (to be precise 94 times) with their MC-131A Samaritans, with the regular 4 Wiesbaden based aircraft being replaced by normally US based aircraft while a modification programme was in place. A Hercules twice appeared as a substitute for the Samaritan in April and May. The big shock for the enthusiast was the arrival of a Boeing VC-97K Stratofreighter in VIP passenger configuration on 25th May with a band to play at Burtonwood. A small number of Dakotas also appeared during the year. SUMMARY OF THE YEAR’S ACTIVITY AS REFLECTED IN THE VISITING AIRCRAFT LOGS AIRCRAFT AND TYPES IN 1968This adapted very little from the report and table in the January 1969 MAS Flypast magazine. In the year ending on 31st December 1968 a new record number of 99 basic aircraft types landed at Liverpool comprising 860 different aircraft. Readers will find we do adjust the definition of basic types and this year we count the Brantly B2B and similar Brantly 305 helicopters as the same basic type. This adjusts the type total for 1967 down by one to 96 types but remains at 750 different aircraft. Once again the ILS attracted traffic, which in addition to some of the types below also included the HS.801 Nimrod which only overflew during ILS runs. Britannias, Vanguards and BAC.1-11s appeared in record quantities, as did Cherokees and single Cessnas among the lighter types. Cherokees have increased from 12 in 1966 and by 50% on their 1967 total. The Viking must now have finally appeared for the last time, as have the Beverley, Hastings and Argonaut. Chipmunks have dwindled from 21 in 1967 to just 2, due entirely to the transfer of Woodvale’s radar approach practice from Liverpool to Blackpool, while on the other hand Scouts have leapt up in number from 2 to 18, due to the Army Air Corps using Speke as a refuelling stop on long cross-country flights. Several ‘old –timers’ made their first visits for some years eg Douglas B-26, Meteor, Mosquito, Fox Moth etc. The most welcome old-timer of all was without doubt the USAF Boeing C-97 which made its first ever recorded visit during the year under review as did the not quite so old, Ilyushin IL-18 from the Eastern bloc.

British operators grew by 4, overseas airlines by 3. During 1968 aircraft bearing the national marks of 18 countries were recorded on Liverpool, this being considerably up from 13 the previous year. Missing was Tanzania, while gained were Finland, Greece, Hungary, Mexico, Uganda and Yugoslavia.

Look at what I found in the September 1969 MAS 'Flypast', the original article typed by 'our very own' Ron Turner! TOP TEN UK AIRPORTS - 1968 The following figures were extracted from the 'Business Monitor - Civil Aviation Series'. They show the trend of traffic at United Kingdom Airports during 1968. 1968 TOTAL MOVEMENTS 1968 AIR TRANSPORT MOVEMENTS
