The Dragon Rapides are from the 10 minute joy-riding operations of Island Air Services, which departed from a ticket hut in the spectators enclosure (I have read). These ran in the 1950s, and at summer weekends could double the air traffic. They were eventually removed as being a nuisance to regular traffic.
