G-AIFM (cn 12773) One of the Silver City fleet which was based at Blackpool, to serve a network of scheduled services from the Isle of Man previously operated by Manx Airlines (based at Ronaldsway). The Freighters were converted to 44-seat Wayfarer standard, but retained the nose doors and the area being used to store baggage. This can be seen being loaded on the picture through a floor hatch, which was also used for crew entry/exit. All the fleet carried names, this one being "City of Carlisle". |

G-AHJD (cn 12736) Leased to Air Condor, but in fact owned and operated by North South Airlines, having been registered to them 4th July 1960. Air Condor only operated this aircraft for just over two months prior to sale, so this could be quite a rare photograph of a little known UK independent airline which operated less than one year. |

G-AIMH (cn 12798) "City of Birmingham" in Wayfarer configuration, showing off the old style company titles complete with Manx Airlines logos on the nose and tail. Manx Airlines ceased their own operations in the spring of 1958 and all their flying was taken over by Silver City (Northern Division), but the name lived on. |

G-AICS (cn 12762) This was one of two Wayfarers leased from Silver City during 1957 and based at Blackpool. This was the final year of L.A.C.'s commercial operations before they were taken over by Silver City. Seen here being turned around on a Manx Airlines scheduled flight from and to the Isle of Man. Locally, we knew this type of aircraft as the "Whispering Nissan Hut" -- I wonder why? |
