Brize-Akrotiri-Muharraq-Gan-Changi.
Changi-Gan-Muharraq-Akrotiri-Brize.
If the winds were right, sometimes Muharraq would be overflown eastbound, and Akrotiri westbound.
Before Brize was fully opened, the aeroplanes positioned/recovered empty to/from Lyneham.
As far as I am aware, to Akrotiri it was normal airlines routing, something like UK, France, Switzerland (?) Italy, Greece, Turkey, Cyprus.
Can't remember exactly off the top of me 'ead for the rest of it but something like Cyprus Turkey Iran Bahrain Oman Pakistan India Maldives Myanmar Thailand Malasia Singapore. When Confrontation finished Myanmar and Thailand ould have been changed for Indonesia. These are the FIRs that the aeroplane would have, I'm pretty certain, transitted. Probably there will be somone out there who can verify it.
Beautiful aeroplane, in my opinion second, marginally, to the Britannia.
