B747-200 were operating to London via Perth,Bombay from at least 1976. Seem to remember QF doing a MAN-LHR leg as well on the way to SYD/MEL. Anyone remember where the stop-offs were? |

Also correct. I'm not sure of the Manchester frequency but by that time I'm fairly sure that the routing would have been Melbourne/Sydney/Singapore/Bahrain/London/Manchester and vice versa. I seem to think MAN was done direct from another non-European port... Yes, QF9 went to MAN and QF10 originated there and went via LHR in the 90s eventually becoming a BA 733 MAN-LHR operating from the international terminal to T3. I seem to remember the flight number for MAN was QF17 and QF18 in the late 70s/early 80s before it became a NAN/West Coast USA flight... I think it went something like MEL/SYD/SIN/BAH/possibly FRA/MAN or direct in to MAN on certain days... will have to look through some old timetables if I still have them. |
