Reference Material.

[Jorge]

I thought this would be a good thing to share.

I found it a while ago when doing research for PW's Imperial Airways, but saved it anyway since I thought I could use the info for some of the lettering of Imperial since it didn't seem to far off.

Here's the link for BOAC:

BOAC Advert. Manual, ca. 1946

BOAC Advert (1947 update with ads)

It's probably best for those trying to make repaints, but it can be used as a general reference as well.

Here's some other stuff I found at the gentleman's flickr site:'

Esso Road Maps and Plans (has a sheet with a set of aircraft profiles and even a general layout of Heathrow)

Esso Guide to London Airport - Heathrow (similar to the above, but with some passenger info)

Esso Guide to London Airport - 1965 (similar as well, but with a year stamp on it)

London's Heathrow Airport (yet another one with info, though some is repeated)

Hope everyone enjoys!

Thanks! We used some of those for the Heathrow scenery.

Thanks Jorge. Interesting print collections, which also create quite nostalgia! Especially because I still have several ESSO road maps edited in the sixties, and particularly the 1962 Heathrow guide. I then did my commercial apprenticeship at Esso Standard Switzerland. Remember  "put a tiger in your tank"!
