July 23, 1973 BOAC G-ARRB B707-436 LAX to LHR 10 hrs 50 mins.
We paxed from LHR to LAX to take a 707-436 to DTW. Arrived at Ops to be asked to take the aircraft direct to LHR. Did it with no pax and a few positioning CCrew.
As the aircraft was pre INS the copilot had to scramble out of his seat after some 5 hours use his nav licence and then master the doppler and loran. All this plus the usual hold at LHR!
