Like seacue I too was SLF on 8 airlines on Coquelet's list.
Plus a few more like Hunting Air Services (or whatever they were called in 1948), Silver City and some of the Ansett regionals.

Certainly don't miss some (e.g. Pan Am., Air Inter). . .

I mentioned them on another thread somewhere.

The shortest flight time from Johannesburg to the USA west coast and 2 night stopover in Rio for US$45

Their business class catering was the best I came across.

I traveled to/from Utica/Rome (NY) in December 1958. I suspect this meant flying on Mohawk Airlines - at least from UCA to Newark. Mohawk eventually merged into Allegheny/US Air.

That would add another defunct airline to my list,

Airline no longer operating and a/c no longer operating!

I flew in one of these, circa 1974, from Copenhagen (Katstrup) to Sonderburg (SP)

Who remembers Paramount Airways from the 1980's.
Was cabin crew for them. A great outfit who had a sad end.

few of the smaller UK operators

Air Ecosse- large Banderantie operator and a rather nice Royal Mail SD360 G-RMSS which i saw at Biggin Hill few times, and i belive the Banderantie were G-POST and G-DATA

Amberair-737 charter operator

Comunity Express-think operated Jetstream 31s

London City-Dash 7 operator out of London City, didnt it become part of BMI

Princess Air- 146 operator used the QC version

Brymon European

Berlin European- didnt Monarch assist them with 737s

Peach Air - Tristars and 737s didnt they have a good time breaking down a lot

Excalibur a nice A320 operator

Dan Air of course and i have great photo's of there 727s at Lasham minus engines following there departure

Wonder what we be remmbering in the future of the current airlines
