"A once common site bombing down the M4 from Victoria to Heathrow Airport was BOAC's fleet of fifteen Roe bodied Atlanteans. These had large luggage areas downstairs with 16 seats and only another 18 upstairs. Passengers could check in at Victoria and be whisked straight to security at the airport. In 1974 BOAC and BEA merged to form British Airways and not long after the service from Victoria ceased. They were LYF304-318D and LYF307D has been preserved." from here - the most detailed account I've found. However many other refs say they were Metro Cammell Weymann/MCW bodies, so someone else can pick the bones out of it. |
