Good effort WHBM, thank you
Very interesting and unexpected to note that they were operating from East Fortune not Turnhouse at that time. Actually, my parents dates slightly precede your timetable so I'll have to double check with them which airport they used. I see Turnhouse was closed that summer for redevelopment with East Fortune used as an alternate and it might just be that services were switched there upon commencement of your timetable on April 1st.
Wiki also advises me that a Viscount promptly had a landing accident at East Fortune that month, nobody hurt thankfully. Is there a simple answer as to what eventually befell the BEA airframes?
As an aside, whilst travelling through Zimbabwe a few years back, I happened to spot 2 Viscount fuselages apparently on display at the roadside in the small town of Gweru. Sadly didn't manage to stop. Anybody have any stories to add about those?
Cheers
Cooch
