Product Details & Size Guide
Wear a reminder of Air Anglia’s distinctive place in British aviation history with this Hoodie / Sweatshirt. The airline formed at Norwich Airport in 1970 when three East Anglian air taxi operators came together. From its early North Sea industry support flights, it expanded into scheduled routes linking Norwich with places around Britain and Europe. Fokker Friendship turboprops and later Fokker Fellowship jets marked its growth through the decade. In January 1980, it merged into Air UK, leaving collectors with a compelling story of regional ambition and change.
Air Anglia Limited was a privately owned British regional airline formed at Norwich Airport on July 22, 1970, through the merger of Anglian Air Charter, Norfolk Airways and Rig Air, three East of England air taxi operators. Norwich became its headquarters and main operating and engineering base, with Norwich Union as controlling shareholder at formation. Operations began in August 1970, initially including oil and gas industry support flights from Norwich, Aberdeen and Humberside. The airline developed scheduled services from 1971 and added Fokker F-27 Friendship turboprops in 1972, supporting year-round routes around Britain and to Amsterdam. Its network later included services to destinations such as Paris, Stavanger and Bergen. In 1979 it introduced Fokker F-28 Fellowship jetliners on scheduled routes. In January 1980, Air Anglia merged with British Island Airways, Air Wales and Air Westward to form Air UK. The merger combined Air Anglia’s eastern regional routes with services across the western part of the British Isles, and enabled Norwich Union to sell its shareholding to British and Commonwealth, the parent of British Island Airways.
