Two DC-3s arrived at Coventry during the spring of 1969, with the former Faroe Airways OY-DNC (rear) landing on March 8 as N4296, while N15751 (once G-AMPY with Irelfly) appeared on April 5. Together with Beech 18 N15750, these aircraft were expected to fly for an unknown locally-based operator, but following a fire on April 15 N4296 was used for spares before being broken up. N15751 was sold to Intra Airways in Jersey and restored as G-AMPY. She would return to Coventry in later years as part of the Air Atlantique Dakota fleet.
