BSAA1947 :
I am, in fact, very grateful for your account of this actually quite short-lived forbear to BOAC. I wouldn't judge something I didn't know (for it was long before I even existed) on just one account, but have built up a composite view based on a whole range of accounts, plus some direct analysis of the fleet and operations, actual and aborted. A series of articles in Propliner magazine about 25 years ago by a former manager at the airline was a good eye-opener.
But I still think, even when compared to its contemporaties of the time rather than current standards, that it was just an unsustainable operation all round.
