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 ==
