Yes do wish them luck..I well remember BKS Viscounts. Twas December 1967 and flew with them up to leeds from Heathrow. Still remember the `in flight catering` which was tea and help yourself from a tray of biscuits that were brought round!!....The two previous sectors on that flight from Capetown had been on a BOAC VC10 and an SAA Boeing 727...The Viscount seemed like Noah`s Ark to a nervous young lad back then..
Give almost anything to fly on one again though. Hope BA persevere with this route, the area deserves this kind of link and needs to be used not abused..
