I am now in possession of a 1958 BOAC world wide time table. I was hoping it would have comet routes in it but unfortunately it does not.
But it does have
BOAC routes for the Britannia, StratoCruiser, DC-7C, Viscount, DC-3, Constellation, Argonaut and Hermes (cargo).
British European routes for the Viscount, Pionare and Elizabethan.
Qantas routes for the Super G constellation and DC-4.
Let me know if any of the route information is needed.
I also have a British airways European and Mediterranean Area timetable for 1977 but I its probably not as useful.

That's excellent Joe
I'm sure that any Viscount and DC3 routes will be useful as we currently have these on the books plus those for the Elizabethan which may be purchased at some point in the future
Pity the Comet isn't included :sad:

The timetable is dated June 1st 1958 so it missed the comet by a few months.

I have posted the viscount European routes in a separate thread. There a number of BOAC viscount flights between North America and the Caribbean and BOAC DC-3 flights in the Caribbean. (In fact all the BOAC DC-3 flights listed are in the Caribbean).
Has anyone produced a Britannia other than Mike Stone? There are lots of good britannia routes going as far as San Francisco to the west, Tokyo and Sydney to the east and Johannesburg to the south.

I guess the Viscounts are BWIA for the Caribbean link
As to a Britannia...I do know of one in the early feasibilty planning stage. :-$
More I can't say yet.

Your probably right about that, I was confused but the BAnnn flight numbers but it does mention British West Indian Airways in the fine print.
