Nearly rog747, it was actually Peter Cadbury, he passed away in 2006. Chief pilot was Capt Ben Prowse, John Howard Evans was the other senior pilot, he then became chief pilot for Brymon. He was also founder of Air Wales 1 & 2 and now author of the book "Only angels have wings", a really good read. The airline was based at 6A Morfa Hall, Newquay. I still have somewhere an old blank ticket stock, now 45 years of age, think I will fill one in and pop down to Westward Airways (Lands End) and see if they will accept it!!

As posted earlier progress is a funny thing, in 1969, NQY had three flights a day to LHR, 45 years later it has none!!
