Bump :wink:

I got a scan of the page from the 1965 BOAC time table showing the first BOAC flight, looking at it I was suprised how many 707 routes they had.
An image of the scan can be found here. Its a 3.7mb image so modem users be warned.

PHNL 2340->NFFN 0400
NFFN 0445->YSBK 0700
YSBK 0820->YMML 0940

The return

Splendid!

It would of course be most relevant to use VHHX (maybe as and alternative) thus given us the opportunity to visit the good old KaiTak :smile:

I would have no objection to having VHHX as an alternate, since its not part of the standard FS9 scenery.

We would also have to get FlyNET to add it to its list of airports since it currently only shows the new Hong Kong Intl (VHHH).
