| Remarks: An impressive 35,497 hours have been flown from this very cockpit before AOVT was retired to Duxford in 1975. She was delivered to BOAC in 1959 and flew the very first Westward 'Round-the-World' service flying via New York San Francisco, Honolulu and Wake Island to Tokyo, from where a Comet 4 took over to complete the service. She served for a while with British Eagle before her final passenger role for Monarch, mainly carrying out 'package holiday' flights around Europe. It's a big cockpit, and you should be able to make out the engineer's and navigators separate positions toward the rear right-side of the cockpit. |
