BOAC across the Atlantic 1956


Notice weather ships.

notice speeds
I found an interesting item in an antique store.
It is a chart of the North Atlantic used by BOAC in the 50s to show passengers the planned flight on one side and progress reports on the obverse.
It is filled out for a flight in 1956 from New York- Gander- Prestwick -Manchester-London.
Flight date is 13-14 Oct 1956. Flight BA 513-096 Capt F.E. Lovelace. Aircraft “Champion” which is, I believe a Boing 377 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_377_Stratocruiser.
