Can anyone please help with a couple of questions about Cunard Eagle in 1962 :
1. I've seen several references to an MOD charter programme called MedAir, which seems to have involved 2 Vikings based in Malta [ probably 2 Viscount 700's after 1962 ? ]. Does anyone have any information about this operation, in particular routes, frequencies etc ?
2. The available reference works give little information about Cunard Eagle's 1962 operations, probably because all the ATC movement logs for the major UK airports for most of that year are missing. I have data on the [published] scheduled services, but can anyone throw any light on what the Britannia's were doing that year - apparently there was no Transatlantic charter programme, due to Eagle's problems with the CAB ?
Thanks.
Richard.
