BOAC photos
Hallo renfrew.....hope you don't mind me chucking BOAC topics onto your thread like this....sometimes it works in clarifying an idea or bringing up previously unpublished photos. Yes, there is a photo of that Lisbon line-up from another angle in the Ian Allan Pictorial History of BOAC dated October 1943 I think and yet another closer view as header pic in an old Aeroplane Monthly article on BOAC at war. My hunch was it was connected with a big conference in the Middle East but it could just be weather, as you say. The DC-3 on the far left is one of the pre-war KLM fleet operating the Bristol-Lisbon service for BOAC, looks like G-AGBD 'Buizerd', the rest are lend-lease Dakotas and Liberators
