One Cambrian flight to/from Heathrow in 1970 routed via Chester (Hawarden/Broughton). Unfortunately being February it was a night flight in both directions. Also Liverpool to Edinburgh involved Cambrian to Glasgow then another short hop with BEA to Edinburgh as an intermediate stop on the way to points further north.
