With regard to the DH 86 Express, I well remember G-ACZP flying over our back garden in Blackpool plying it's trade on the Squires Gate to Isle of Man service in the 50s. I believe it ended up derelict in Spain after a landing accident although rumours still circulate that the bits are around "somewhere". And you are quite right PlaneMike, H and S would have a fit if we refuelled our Rapides at Duxford with passengers on board.
