Who knows anything about the 16-seater Grummans in Ford Air Service?

Jul 21, 2005 0 Replies

In the 1970s I was working at the Ford of Europe John Andrews R&D Centre in Cologne-Merkenich. Many engineers and later I myself often flew to Britain on the Ford internal airline, which employed 16-seater Grumman turboprops.



Can anyone point me to additional information about these early planes used by Ford?


- Were they Grumman?


- Were they 16-seater? (They were very small indeed!)


- I remember they flew from Cologne-Wahn, and ~think~ the GB destination was Stansted, although Stansted was not built up at all in those days.


- How many planes did the Ford fleet contain?


- Any other information most welcome.
