Learned contributors,
Regarding Skyways lease of Autair aircraft in early 1968.
Skyways leased G-ATMI and G-ALZZ to operate I.T. flights beyond the range of their Series 1 HS 748s ( Or were they still Avro 748s then ?) They were flown by Autair crews with Skyways cabin staff.
For further details and a couple of great photos one of each aircraft, see Dick Gilberts excellent book 'Skyways at Lympne'
Hope it helps
Be lucky
David
