The airline is more guessable, as British Eagle. They had a few "crumbs from the table" European routes from London Heathrow that they were allowed to have, Pisa being one of them, and they had not long started Heathrow to Glasgow as well, with a very restricted number of flights (BEA could run what they wanted). But the aircraft type ... it could be any of what they had, which likely ran on both routes. Viscount, Britannia or One-Eleven. I see the One-Eleven has already been discounted. let's go for a ............... Britannia.

Spot on, Mr. M The schedule is from March 1966

British Eagle EG 815 Glasgow (GLA) 815a-935a London (LHR) Britannia Sa
British Eagle EG 862 London (LHR) 1155a-225p Pisa (PIS) Britannia Sa
