KLM previously operated from Doncaster...er no I don't think so.
I believe you meant Sheffield Airport, you know the one that has now closed because of Finningley
Humberside_go
Would be a wonderful idea, shame about the runway length though.

KLM did operate Lockheed Electras on a route Amsterdam - Hull (not Humberside Airport) - Doncaster - Speke, as has been stated in the late 1930s. My father cycled down from Leeds to see KLM operate their new DC-2 through Doncaster, in lieu of the Electra on one such occasion! Somewhere I have a picture of it,if I can find it I will make it available.
