Dan-Air's Yorks and Lasham. That brings back memories. Back in the late 1950s I was a junior draughtsman for a small design company based in the Old Mill Cranleigh Surrey. I was tasked to go to Dan-Air at Lasham and carry out some measurements in one or their Yorks for some minor modification. I reported to Fronk Horridge the Chief Engineer who informed me the York had just landed and I could get on board as soon as the crew had cleared the aircraft. He suggested that I borrow some wellington boots which I thought odd until I got to the aircraft it had just delivered a load of live pigs and was in somewhat of a mess to say the least it also smelt pretty ripe too.
