Name four African airlines that flew the VC-10
Besides BOAC/British Airways, what two other UK airlines flew the VC-10?
I'm so sorry I'm late to this thread--great fun, well done Seat 2A!
Four African VC10 (NO hyphen!) operators: East African (Supers), Air Malawi, Ghana Airways, Nigeria Airways.
In the UK, British United and British Caledonian flew the VC10.
BTW, in the original set, question 33--Pacific East Air also flew a former Alitalia DC-8-62 in scheduled service between SFO/LAX and HNL. (They also flew a -61 in their own colors and a -63 leased from Flying Tigers.) MGM Grand also operated the DC-8-62 in scheduled service.
Two follow-on questions:
Before the nonstop flights began, which airline and aircraft provided through jet service between Hong Kong and Johannesburg?
Which California routes--begin and end points within the state--were served by scheduled flights using DC-8 aircraft? (Hint: there were at least five.)
Cheers!
