Glad you are still looking!
Meanwhile BA has added the 767 to its list of types which have served Dar. This means the complete list to date is: Solent, York, Hermes 4, Argonaut, Constellation,Britannia, Comet 4, VC 10 ( Standard and Super), 747 (136, 236, 436), 777 and 767. The Argonaut was the last type at the old airport,and first at the new and was always well patronised on its weekly appearance. It did less well in Nairobi twards the end of its career (56/57) as the Airwork/Hunting Clan Viscounts were more attractive and the transiting BOAC Britannias and SAAs DC 7Bs from Johannesburg were also a better product , but with limited availability for intermediate traffic.
