Post by austerdriver »

Has the DC7 ever been operated in the UK by any British airlines?

Caledonian Airways operated ex BOAC 7C's and Dan Air used a DC 7B

Transmeridian was another user of the type and Autair owned one for a short time.

20 so it seems were registered in the UK.

The first 10 are the BOAC ones. Some of these were subsequently operated by other UK airlines.

Caledonian (RUD,RYE,SHL,SID,SIV) were ex SABENA
Trans Meridian (TAB,TMF,TOB,VXH,WBI) were ex US
