I've been trying to locate a relevant old timetable for the 880 service to Europe, but no luck with the usual (and some less usual) sources. One thing I discovered was that JAL's first route to Europe was not round through Asia points (what they called "The Silk Road Route") but "The Polar Route" through Anchorage with a DC8. Twice a week through Heathrow at the end of 1961, through Paris passengers were served lunch on the ground while stopped - I wonder where. There is a mention on this page of the forthcoming 880 service in 1962.

Now, back to Tridents. Trying as ever for a link, did any Tridents ever operate routes to Japan ?
