Thanks. A particular chap that a group of us are researching was an RNZAF navigator during the war but seems to have been seconded to BOAC in 1947 and flew under that secondment till 1952, and then joined the company proper and continued till 1954. His sons say they lived in Bristol throughout that time. We are wondering what he did there.

There was a maintenance facility for BOAC for Stratocruisers and Constellations at Filton

T167: tks for link to ancient Hansard. Fascinating.

In 1946 Cabinet razed the village of Charlton to extend Filton’s runway for Brabazon Committee’s prestigious Type I, T.167; they also found $ to buy L-049 for BOAC (first arrived 4/46), whose maintenance was assigned to the rump of the Ferry Command operation ex-Dorval. By early-1949 the Filton runway was there, T.167 scarcely was (first flight 4/9/49); Stratocruisers were on way (first arrived 12/49); UK had even fewer $ and the leaking of US/C$ in Dorval must cease, not double. BSAA/Langar had closed, BOAC/Heathrow Engineering was distant (hangars opening from 1954), so the long runway and empty hangars at Filton offered an interim fix. BOAC’s American Aircraft Engineering Centre was extradited from Montreal in 1949 and placed with Line 3 HQ at Filton until 1954.
