When I was flying Tiger Moths at Coventry in 1958 or so, there was an outfit called "Trans European Aviation" flying two Rapides.
The pilots were Adrian Ross who later went to B.Caledonian and Tony Stauber who seemed to disappear.
At one time they claimed to have a Connie, but it never arrived.
I used to make £1 a day (my first pay in aviation) pushing passengers in and out during rapid turn-rounds when they were flying out of Elmdon on weekends.
