Best wishes to all on the forum! I would like to know if anyone has any information on the last of the BOAC Stratocruiser flight offerings for 1959, and the days and times associated with them. I've searched Ebay, and timetableimages.com, but I only acquired information on 1958 (and before) and the latter half of 1959, but by that time the Strats were already retired. I love the Stratocruiser so I just wanted to simulate one of the last flights of the BOAC Stratocruiser  Regards Andrew |

Hi,
In my April 1959 OAG it appears that BOAC 377 flights were limited to London to Africa. Ghana and West African Airways also flew leased Stratocruisers on similar routes.
London-(Barcelona-Frankfurt-Rome Ciampino-Tripoli-Kano) to Accra or Lagos. The Johannesburg flights were Britannias by then.
Examples:
Flt. 285 Monday
London 1300
Frankfurt 1615/1700
Rome 1925/2020
Kano 0505/0620
Lagos 0820
Flt. 283 Thursday
London 1300
Barcelona 2100/2145
Kano 0625/0710
Accra 0915
Flt. 260 Tuesday
Lagos 1615
Kano 1840/1930
Rome 0400/0445
Frankfurt 0735/0820
London 0940
Flt. 296 Saturday
Accra 1515
Kano 1935/2030
Rome 0500/0545
London 0905
Hope this helps
