Thanks to cj241101 for forwarding me a list of movements for 1969 so here is a sample. It would appear that in 1969 Luton was a long haul airport.
So on Monday 3rd February there was a Britannia aircraft departure to Paramaribo. Where the hell is that I asked myself. After a quick Google it is in the country of Suriname. Well I have never heard of that country either but it is in South America after another Google search. Well it does beggar the question why a Britannia from Luton would be going there?
This time there is a Britannia off to Adelaide, again I wonder why? Also a flight was due in from Canada.
In June Channel Airways seemed to have Trident G-AVYB based at Luton. Didn't know Channel ever based an aircraft at Luton. By this time Autair's domestic scheduled services had come to an end.
