This is probably a silly question (and almost certainly a thread hi-jack), so apologies in advance...
Are the times on this timetable (and any others) GMT or local? I was wondering about this while looking at the BA timetable earlier on

All times are local (usually) on public timetables, but I believe Zulu time was used opperationally? Might be totally wrong with this though.

Hmm, I assumed they were Zulu. For example, BA937 EDDL-EGLL is listed as departing 1050 and arriving 1115 - duration 1h 25min. Surely if they were local times these figures would be different?

Why yes sir ;-)
A little few more for the SVC10, and a whole bunch of Standard VC10...

I might be able later to provide actual schedules from 1973...more of that later....
Isn't the whole idea to earn some Republican Credits?...

Oooooh Yes
That's great Dan. I'm not at the end of my stint at 106Kts just yet but I just may go for the VC10 in case I need to 'get away from it all'
Great job Dan

Sorry David the VC10 never flew to either destination, not to my knowledge anyway, but I'll see what I can find...
