No, doesn't need to be 47, but I would like it to be. My Mate said it would be older "Heavy Iron"(747 or 1011) to go across the pond and then a "Light Twin" (737) on a Africa, West Coast Feeder. That is about all I've got.
It is about time somebody starts a reliable service in and into West Africa. I guess with all the oil that is being descovered there the world is starting to focus on that area.
I wish them luck even if they do start with a L-1011!
