...England expanded rapidly after it won certification in 1975 from the Civil Aeronautics Board. Perhaps too rapidly. It now struggles to maintain a schedule of 200 flights a day with scant working capital and a modest fleet of 20 propjet planes, which include its own 19-seat De Havilland Twin Otters and 48-passenger Fairchild 227s and two leased 50-seat Convair 580s.

Joining him were his daughter, Lady Patricia Braourne, 55, her husband Lord Brabourne, 54, their twin sons Timothy and Nicholas, 14, and Lord Brabourne's mother, the Dowager Lady Brabourne, 82. An Ulster schoolboy, Paul Maxwell, 15, whom Mountbatten had given the coveted summer job of boat boy, cast off the moorings, and the Shadow V, powered by a three-cylinder diesel engine, slowly eased beyond...
