Air ambulance and search operations for survivors from torpedoed ships were also undertaken. All of this was happening with the constant threat of encountering enemy aircraft. Gandar Dower said that the demands on the airline were huge, but official rewards were totally lacking, saying “No ranks, no gongs, no uniform, no recognition!”

The AAJC allowed member organisations to cooperate amongst themselves, permitting some sharing of resources. Gandar Dower remained outside the AAJC, preferring independence, but suffering as preference for contracts was given to members, and he was excluded from any pooling arrangements. His airport was requisitioned by RAF Coastal Command, who expanded and developed it, laying hard runways, but his airfields at Thurso and Stromness were rendered unusable.

At Kirkwall, where Gandar Dower had closed his Quanterness airfield, Fresson's Wideford airfield was used for a while, but after Allied's Rapide G-ACZF crashed into a stone wall there in late 1941, they moved to RNAS Skeabrae, 7.5 miles (12.1 kilometres) north of Stromness, until 1942, when they moved to the new

Aberdeen Airways subsequently flew the route via Thurso and Stromness or Quanterness (about 2.5 miles (4.0 kilometres) to the north-west of Kirkwall) using a Dragon.

In what was seen as a very cynical move by their management, two days later, Fresson, who was still working for BEA after it had taken over

Scottish Airways were immediately subsumed and lost their identities. BEA also wanted Allied Airways, but Gandar Dower fought them until, on 11 April 1947, he couldn't run his scheduled flights because of a lack of serviceable aircraft, so BEA summarily confiscated the airline.
