July 31, 2017. Dispatcher MW Robertson has the BB desk well at hand on the evening of July 31, 2017. But the op centers time in Baltimore is coming to a close and by the end of the year the Dispatchers will be back in Jacksonville. The BB desk controls from Casparis (just east of Connellsville) to Weverton (just west of Brunswick) as well as the S&C and Shenandoah Subs. Looking at the screens starting at the top left: preview screens for BA dispatcher to the west and I have a train sheet pulled up to update. Top middle: the railroad from Casparis to Foley on Sand Patch Grade. Top left is all the preview screens for Weverton east. Returning to bottom left is the Train Line up screen and another preview screen that I can't identify underneath, then Foley to Virginia Ave. The Lurgan and Hanover Sub preview is tucked in underneath of that. Bottom middle: West Hump to Sleepy Creek. Bottom right covers from Sleepy Creek to Weverton and the Shenandoah Subdivision. Then the menu screen for pulling up authorities and such. To the far right is the AVTECH communications screen. On the desk is the Helper sheet and my own personal note sheet I was using at the time. I enjoyed my time as a dispatcher and felt like I really could help the railroad run, but a move to Jacksonville was not for me. Back to engine service and then yardmaster in Hagerstown Maryland.

Built in 1954 and flew for Shell (UK) Ltd., transferring to Shell Aircraft Ltd in 1962. In 1971 she was sold to GEC (General Electric Company) who operated her until 1982 when she was sold to Aces High at Fairoaks. She was registered to Topflight Aviation, still at Fairoaks, in September 1983 and then Avtech Ltd at Biggin Hill in August 1988. Her registration was cancelled in August 1996 as permanently withdrawn from use.
By May 1998 she had been installed on poles at the old Corydon Airport building, now the home of the Croydon Airport Visitor Centre. She has been painted to represent G-AOXL of Morton Air Services which, on 30th September 1959, operated the last ever scheduled passenger flight from the airport.
Her titles have since been changed to read ‘Airport House’, the current name for the airport buildings.
