“CHRISAIR (AVIATION ENTERPRISES) Ltd.
Probably the smallest airline ever to operate into Baginton was Chrisair, the company leased a Dragon G-ADDI, Leopard Moth G-AIYS,Tiger Moth G-AHVU and a Proctor which were based at Sywell and were owned by J.H.Stevens from Borehamwood.
The company operated several charter and executive flights into Baginton during the sixties with this very interesting fleet of aircraft, the Proctor was a random machine selected by the ARB for testing the wooden structure of these aircraft, sadly the wings broke whilst being loaded with sandbags as an early form of stress testing and she was scrapped.
G-AHVU Tiger Moth at Baginton in 1960 whilst on a visit to the air races,…
She was withdrawn by Chrisair during 1961.”
