stamrish,

The PPRuNe website confirms my earlier post that BUA flew trooper Britannias to Singapore in the 1960’s as well as British Eagle. Call up their website and search for ‘British Eagle Singapore’ and many threads will appear covering 1960’s Singapore flights. It’s well worth a look.

As an example, Stansted – Kuwait – Bombay – Paya Lebar (Singapore) was a BUA route in 1963 and Paya Lebar – Colombo – Istanbul – Heathrow was a British Eagle route in 1966. I can personally confirm that Istanbul was a British Eagle stopping off point being a passenger on one of their Britannias en route to Heathrow from Aden via Bahrain and the Turkish capital in 1967.

Hope you find the information you’re looking for. Regards….Paul

Thanks Paul, I’ll give it a go and see what I get.
