1932 appears to be the heyday of the flying boat on the Isle of Man run. Not one but two airlines on the route both operating SARO Cutty Sarks... G-AAIP was operated by Isle of Man Air Services from Liverpool (where ??) and G-ABBC by British Amphibious Air Lines Ltd based at Squires Gate although they picked up passengers on the foreshore at Blackpool. Both services only lasted the one season.
Strangely G-INFO only shows G-AAIP as being registered on 24 May 33. My copy of AB's British Civil Aircraft registers G-AAAA - G-AAZZ tells me the a/c flew for the first time on 04 July 29.
