A2A Constellation London to Sydney 1950's style

Post by Mantock »

Hi folks!!

Now that I have completed my longhauls (took 47hrs 06m in all) I thought I'd just pop this here for anyone who would be interested.

I completed the whole series of flights from London to Sydney according to a BOAC 1954 flight leaflet in the Connie and did all legs on livestreams. All 9 livestreams can be found here:

Have been following all your flights - on delay, via YouTube. Great project! Still need to catch up with the final leg.

For those who haven't checked it out yet - please do. A lot of fun, including some VATSIM adventures, a medical emergency, and old-school VOR to VOR navigation all the way through.

Hi Lewis!

Yea settling in to life up here. I really enjoyed achieving London to Sydney in this beautiful bird. It's really made for the longhaul!

Can't wait to see what you folks might cook up when re-releasing the B377. I'm currently learning the basics of stellar-navigation so that I can do some good old dead reckoning flying in the ol'girl!
