BOAC Cunard fleet

[Davem2004]

Hello Folks,

Can anyone tell me which particular Super VC-10s, and for that matter, which Boeing 707-436s, BOAC used in the mid 1960s when they had their 'collaboration' with Cunard?

Cheers!

Dave

From a production list of 707s, the following are reported as "BOAC/Cunard" for the operator

G-ARWD, G-ARWE, G-ARRA, G-ARRB, G-ARRC, G-ASZF, G-ASZG, G-APFJ, G-APFK, G-APFL, G-APFM, G-APFN, G-APFO, G-APFP

Technically 'RWD/RWE are -465s (ex Cunard Eagle) and 'SZF/SZG are -336s.

Information on the VC-10s is more difficult to come by - a quick look on Airliners.net shows photos of G-ASGB/SGC/SGE in BOAC-Cunard colours

If you call up each registration in G-INFO the full registration details tells you if it went to BOAC Cunard as it was re-registered to that company.

I've checked this on some but don't have time to go through all of them.

Never thought of that.

GC and GD definitely. Sadly, my BOAC- An illustrated history doesn't go into any great detail

G-ASGC, 'GD, 'GE, 'GF, - BOAC/Cunard between April and October 1966.

Obviously an error then:

Have to admit, can't read the registration.

I went through the list on airliners and missed that. GC was the first followed by GD but I found nowt to say any others had joined the fun. I can't read the reg on that shot anyway
