Over the years,the various Invicta companies flew many types from Vickers Vikings to Boeing Jets.
Malcolm Finnis, the aviation historian has chronicled the history of this airline in his book, ‘Take off to Touchdown.’
Invicta originated in late 1964 as the direct result of the take-over of Air Ferry Ltd at Manston ,with both companies being started up by a well known and leading player of the airline scene,Wing Commander Hugh Kennard.
The Invicta story is told in ‘Take off to Touchdown’, while Air Ferry’s history is covered in ‘Twilight of the Pistons’. Both books are readily available through bookshops or direct from the author.
