rome stops

Wayoutwest" - I imagine that the services to Frankfurt and Zurich were the first legs of routes to India, the Far East and Africa. BOAC also flew to Rome. Until 747-236s were introduced (which could fly to places like Bombay nonstop) this continued; indeed I flew London-Frankfurt-Delhi-Kuala Lumpur-Hong Kong as late as August, 1978 and Singapore-Bombay-Frankfurt-London in April of that year (both on 747-136s).

i flew many times to Rome on BA 747-136's or a Super VC-10 to change the nav bags there for our (BMA) 707's we had on lease to DETA mozambique (late 70's upto the early 80's)
there were still a couple of BA 707-436's at that same time doing some shorthaul routes too.
Lisbon and Paris sometimes i recall.
the other -436's were sent over to BEA airtours (then British Airtours) for
jolly holidays to spain and sunny places.
