"St Patrick" had served the USAAF 8th and 9th Air Forces in WW2. She flew for Aer Lingus from December 1945 until replacement by Friendships in June 1963. She later became CS-TAD and HR-LAK, becoming derelict at La Ceiba in 1980. A sad end to a reliable old airliner.

KLM were the first airline to serve Manchester, beginning with the arrival of their DC-2 on 24 June 1938. I suggested a re-enactment 50 years later and PH-DDA flew from Schiphol, returning that afternoon taking 2 hours 4 minutes - my longest flight in this classic type. An Unforgettable experience.
