Dave, that's rather strange - because the VC10 trip descriptions for period 28 show that trip (W23Feb72 Trip 70 SYD) as departing by BA591 at 1300z to JFK STA 2050z. The trip was 81:33 CrHrs and went LHR/JFK/LAX/HNL/NAN/SYD/(NAN)HNL/LAX/JFK/LHR, arriving back 15 days later in Period 71, on W08Mar72 at 2150z at LHR. Nice trip, by the way - for senior trash or a Nav trainee...
So are you sure you have that date right - or maybe I have misread the bid package ...
The departure you mention on 26Mar73 agrees with the trip description (Trip 84 MEL), which show BA591 ex-LHR at STD 1200z.

PS I really must get out more ...
