Are we turning the clock back to "Car Via Air" days?
I'm a regular observer at Girona Airport (GRO) in Catalunya, Spain. Edwin Air Cargo's AN-26 LZ-FLL - wonderful photo, thanks, far better than mine - has been parked there for several months now, apparently inactive. Can anyone tell me why it hasn't been flying? I gather it's on hire to Edwin's from Bright Flight (ex Rose Air) of Bulgaria, whose own aircraft are occasional visitors to Girona. Have all Edwin Air Cargo flights been suspended, perhaps? Happy to hear comment on this, my introductory post.A resent unusual visitor of an AN-26 is set to become a regular sight through Liverpool. Edwin Air Cargo which is based in the Isle of Man will begin cargo flights from their IOM base to Liverpool, followed by car services from IOM to DUB and BFS

Hello and welcome. As far as I know the AN26s are still very much operating cargo flights into Liverpool, in fact I saw one on the apron as I was taxing out on an Easyjet service to Jersey on Friday morning. They seem to appear quite often.I'm a regular observer at Girona Airport (GRO) in Catalunya, Spain.

HiThank you all for your replies and your welcome. I'll keep you informed how much longer LZ-FLL hangs around at GRO. Is there a way I could set up a thread for Girona Airport? I'm still finding my way around the site.
I've just opened a Girona thread in the European airports forum so feel free to post away!Thank you all for your replies and your welcome.

No, these stopped many decades ago. I'm sure Carl0927 will give actual dates.Does Liverpool still have any Royal Mail flights?

I think that all went to EMA...or by road. Long time ago now. I think the post office building has gone too. Used to be lots of Shorts 330s and 360s late at night / early morning . Various operators.
TNT also operated a B727 and BAe 146 to Cologne and Luton.
Still cargo seems to be returning again the AN 42 are still in and out.
Across in Yorkshire we had a program called "Close Up North" which featured Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds, Humberside and Newcastle airports and the future prospects for each of the airports. For Liverpool I seem to recall it featuring the "hub & Spoke" mail operation. The airport looked so vibrant back then. I'm guessing it still is even without the Royal Mail operation. Still it's sad it came to an end.
