Don Air is adjacent to Dakota Road, the other side of the apron that the former Midland Hangar is on.

Search in Google Maps for Don Air and you will see exactly were they are.

I used to work with both Adrian and yourself at GT Air Services at EMA on the ramp from 1988 to 1991,good times.
Do you know what airline AM is working for now since Monarch's demise.

Aztec crash in 70s.

My dad, Don Adams flew at EMFS in 60-70s,up to failing his medical in late 70s. He was in a plane crash in a twin, 1970-75 ish, and wonder if anyone recalls anything about it. I saw the photos when I was a kid in the 70s,and my dad had a couple of black eyes from it.

Hi Duncan, I have just seen your post regarding your dad and the crash of a light twin. I did my instructors rating and twin engine rating with Hector Taylor at East Midlands in around 1974. Pretty sure the accident was in the Piper Apache I did my twin rating in. I vaguely remember it was flying back from Europe and both engines stopped and they managed to force land it in a field. Rumour has it Hector was in the back but was first out the door 😊. Not sure about that but they did a good job and all walked away. I’m guessing around 1974/5
