Yo Dave
From what I've just managed to Google TransOcean took eight of the fourteen BOAC aircraft
http://www.ovi.ch/b377/pcs/to.html
The link above say 14 so perhaps they bought them all but only flew eight

Hello Mate
Tks for that ;-) A new one on me is Transocean
EDIT..
BOAC lost one aircraft and 2 others were WFU and stored at Stansted '60.. ANUB and ANUC. Transocean did indeed buy the rest of BOAC's 377 fleet ;-)

Funny I had never heard of them until I bought the Corgi back in about 2000 :think:
Probably the last major user of the type.

Thanks very much for the info. Interesting stuff.
Additionally, I remember the Skylink Guppy's flying into Manchester during the 1980's.
I think I'll be adding this beauty to my fleet.

This product takes flight simming to a whole new level. :o
Really looking forward to the patch!

Hi Lewis
Take your point...Techy's a lot better than me
But like anything, just need to get used to it

I can cope with flying the aircraft safely.
However, I can honestly say I can't relax for a second, due to the fact there are far too many things to monitor and adjust during the flight.
I like to keep busy though.
