I read about the Martin / Convair a few days back. For some reason it's taken me until now to remember Partnair (Norwegian charter company) Convair 580s operating regularly into Newcastle. I think some of the flights were offshore charters, but pretty sure some of them were longer term subcharters for someone: either Dan-Air or Air UK? Could that be what we are thinking of here?

Air Anglia DC-3 at EDI
I definitely remember seeing an Air Anglia DC-3 at Turnhouse in early 1973. I think it was a weekly appearance. Also, I recall a magazine - probably Flight - publishing a passenger trip report about the flight to Norwich which concluded that it was a very civilised experience and an attractive option for the business traveler.
