When my family first went to Iran in about 1955, we flew (I think) Rome - Athens - Beirut - Tehran on Persian Air Services (PAS) EP-ADE "Dog Easy".
PAS were not great operators. They managed to write off Dog Easy in 1959 landing during a sandstorm in Kuwait. In total they wrote off three Avro Yorks. Fortunately not while we were in them...
