Hi,So i am trying to find out what aircraft my dad flew on when his family moved to Australia he said it was with British Airways which i think was BOAC back then, and was hoping someone might know something about aircraft used and routes flown from November 1964. My dad was only 4 when he moved here but he knows that they had several stopovers which some were BOM and DRW and landing at Essendon Airport, and that the plane had propellers not jets.
hoping i here some interesting stuff :),
Thanks, Ben
Only other option other than British Eagle my friend emigrated on in 1967 to Essendon MEN then would be BOAC Bristol Britannia 312s but I think finished flying them to Aust by 1964. British Eagle use to do charter flights for Qantas Pax for Melbourne as it didn't have pax seats available on original 707 138Bs, as you could have a choice of QF or BA on selected weeks or days wished advance book travel to emigrate , like my family did to Perth on BA716 on GAPFL in 16 May 69.
British Airways (boac) 1964?
