The Aircraft Dan Air operated were workhorses, with their 'Black Smoke' trailing from the back!!
I flew on a DA 1-11 in 1988 from MAN - PER and we 'powered' off R24 like a NASA Launch!!
I have recently read that DA went into 11 hour talks with 'Branson' over a possible takeover in October 1992, Branson could have had DA for next to nothing, But He pulled out at the last minute?
Due to BA taking DA, DA is not a 'popular' word around Crawley!!
RIP DA.
Regards.
