Jackbr,
My log book shows that in early 1973 they were starting to do charters. January saw me in Oakland, Gander, Mexico City, Tahiti and Honolulu. September and October saw me in Kansas City, Oakland and Gander followed by Detroit to JFK and on to Frankfurt. I also went to Borgas on the Black sea one night in May '73.
About the end of December we started using them heavily on the Canadian trips. Toronto, Montreal etc. from LHR and Manchester. There was still the odd Dubai trip in '74 but Toronto was "home"!! Then just one Cairo in April '74Then not much variation other than the odd Cairo and JFK until my last flight on one, G-APFM from JFK to LHR on October 30th '76. Some had gone to Airtours by then but 'FM went to the desert a couple of days later.
They were operated F/Y during that time and not dedicated to charters but a mix.
I am talking -436's as the 336's did the polar routes, and Moscow-Tokyo, and were around after the 436's had departed.
Hope that helps.
