Incredible how many stops these flights made , how many sectors did the crew do given they were not exactly going into anything that could be called an airport in modern standards. Perhaps the pilot error at Benghazi was related to some long shifts. And, after all that as one poster points out you end up at Blackbushe, middle of no where and 40 miles from London.
Bit of a thread drift but back in my Ian Allen/Civil Aircraft Markings spotting days at LHR (god we were spoiled compared to today for variety) there were a number of real oddities like flights that only operated on Sundays like an Iraqi Airways Viscount , Lots of stops from Baghdad , Aerolineas Argentias, Comets all the way from BA with about three stops and less sure of this one Kuwait Airways Viscounts .I am sure there were a few other once or twice a week ops but it was long time ago
