Love the BUA 1965 Timetable showing the West African route that leisurely made its way down to the Dark Continent over 2 days with a Las Palmas night stop (both ways) - I gather the Hotac was included in one's ticket price.
The Viscount was also used on the GIB and AGP flights.
I note the BUA VC-10 to East Africa flew 3 times a week non stop to EBB with two going on to NBO, and one to Ndola, Lusaka, and finally Salisbury arriving 13.05 Thursday.
The jet then seems to stay at Salisbury until 08.00 the next morning before making its way back home.
Very surprised at such a long layover - But I guess if the VC-10 was to head back up straight away say around 15.00 to LUS, NLA, EBB was it held back because of the temperatures or a too early morning arrival time at LGW (or bit of both?)
However leaving Salisbury at 08.00 it eventually leaves EBB at 15.15 (heat of the day) with an arrival at LGW 20.30
