I met them once. 

I used to regularly fly into Europe (about once a week).

One day my Secretary said there is a new Airline started running Amsterdam to Manchester, do you want to try it - so I did.

 

It was a Dornier DO228 - and seemingly couldn't make it all the way in one-hop so we had to stop at Ipswich flying club to refuel. A guy came out in a Landrover, and leant a set of steps up against the wing and started to refuel out of Jerry cans.

Looking at him I thought I have seen that face before - he was identified in the 'flight magazine' as the owner of the airline.

 

The Captain said if anyone wants a sandwich or a coffee - there is a cool box and a flask in the back, help yourselves.

 

We made it quite safely to Manchester and never went above 10,000 feet - interesting to fly 'up' the A1 and across the M62.

 

It was called "Suckling Airways" and the Owner was a Mr Suckling.
