Dan Dare!

Come on, indulge me, please! Lets here your memories and anecdotes on the late lamented Dan Air, affectionately know as Dan Dare.

I loved them and still miss them so much. They were a proud airline who had a wonderfully varied fleet with the Comets operating into 1980, those 727s, 1-11s and 748s and A300s.

Any of your memories would be much appreciated. x

Im looking for a small model – plastic snap together type – of Dan Air (any type) anyone got one kicking about they want to flog ?

A330Crazy had a 737-200 (1/200) not so long ago, but I’m sure he flogged it on eBay.

You can get a 1:400 scale die cast 737-200 from here www.jetcollector.com

Here’s a Comet at Glasgow Airport in the early 70’s when I was but a wean. 🙂

And sadly, at the end, a bankrupt airline, sold for a notional £1 (plus debts) to BA.
