We Are On Holiday

Mystery Mosquito's

Welcome,

Blowing some more dust off the archives I found this picture of some deHavilland Mosquito's presumably in the late 1950's or early 60's awaiting the breakers axe, not that he was going to get much scrap metal out of them. But no indication of date or location, but maybe someone out there recognises the scene.

B.O.A.C. Colonial Airlines

Welcome,
Today we are blowing some more dust off the archives, and looking at some of the Airlines set up by B.O.A.C.  in the late 1940's and early 1950's to operate regional services linking with  trunk routes from England, most of which were operated with loaned  B.O.A.C. equipment and crews. All of which disappeared into history along with the British Empire.


Handleypage Hermes G-ALDU in B.O.A.C. colours operating for Kuwait Airways.


Canadair Argonaut G-ALHG in B.O.A.C. colours operating for West African Airways Corporation.


Canadair Argonaut G-ALHU in B.O.A.C. colours operating for Kuwait Airways.


And finally Canadair Argonaut VR-AAR of Aden Airways in B.O.A.C. colours.

And so we leave the archives to gather dust till another day.
