Airflight

Airflight Limited was a British charter and cargo airline from 1948 to 1950.

History
The airline was formed by former Air Vice-Marshal Don Bennett at Langley Airfield, Berkshire, to operate in the Berlin Airlift with two long-fuselage Avro Tudor aircraft. These were flown by Bennett and a single other pilot, WWII RAF veteran Stanley Sickelmore, Bennett having the only night flight licence made all the nighttime trips himself with Sickelmore as co-pilot. One of the Tudor aircraft had operated 85 sorties carrying over 9 tons of supplies per flight between Wunsdorf and Gatow. Airflight Ltd was dissolved in 1965 and Fairflight was formally wound up in 1966. == Aircraft operated ==
