Coventry

On September 16, 2003 I had the opportunity to visit Air Atlantique at Coventry, UK together with a group of propliner enthusiasts. The airline was part of the Air Atlantique Group, which at that time comprised Air Atlantique itself, Atlantic Airlines, Atlantic Express and Atlantic Flight Training. For the propliner fan, the most interesting part of the group was Air Atlantique, with its large fleet of classic aircraft like DC-3, DC-6, Convair 440 and some even more exotic examples like a Twin Pioneer or Percival Pembroke which were used for air shows and fly-ins.

We got a very extensive ramp and hangar tour at the Air Atlantique base, and our guide Ben really took the time to show us everything in detail. Thanks again from all of us for that great day out!
