What was probably the first international civil pass~nger flight in the world took off from Toussus-le-Noble, southeast of Paris, on 8 February 1919 at 12 o'clock noon, and flew on a course over Versailles, Paris, Amiens, Boulogne and Folkestone to land at ·2:30p.m. at Kenley near London. The aircraft was a Farman Goliath, powered by two engines of 260 h. p. each, with an all-up weight of 4, 500 kilograms {10, 000 lbs.} and a speed of 160 kilometres (100 miles) per hour. The pilot was Lucien Bossoutrot, and there was at least one other .member of the crew, a mechanic. Between 11 and 15 passengers were carried, and the lunch given the.m during the flight was probably the first such .meal served on a passenger air service. Six months later, on 25 August 1919, the world's first regular daily passenger service was begun between London and Paris by a British company, with a converted war-time single-,engine aircraft. Thirty-five years later, in the month of August 1954, scheduled cross-Channel services by French and British airlines alone were approaching the figure of 1, 500 flights per week. Regular mixed services, carrying passengers, cargo and mail, accounted for 660 flights with an aggregate of some 23,650 seats. Of these, 234 were first-class and 426 were tourist-class flights (including 93 night tourist flights). Combined car-ferry and passenger services, not included in these totals, were advertised. at frequencies of as

    Poole Flying Boats Celebration (Charity No.1123274) PFBC Archive: Our Charity is committed to developing & maintaining its Public-Access Archive… For the purpose of this website a brief selection of items together with information have been provided where references in blue indicate further material is available. Á Part Twenty: A Behind the Scenes Look at Aquila Airways 1948-58... ‘Aquila Insight’ © PFBC Poole Flying Boats Celebration acknowledges the significant contribution which Aquila Airways paid to the History of the UK’s Flying Boat services during some 10 years of its operations from 18th. May 1948, until 30th. September 1958. Through his entrepreneurial vision & passion for Flying Boats, former RAF Wing Commander - Barry T. Aikman DFC , with the dedication of his airline staff, a marvellous swansong was added to this history during that period when the last vestiges of travel by the glorious Flying Boats were being wound-up across the world, with new airports for landplanes. " The scene is not a major airport, or even a regional one like Hurn (later renamed Bournemouth International Airport), it is Berth 50 in what was known as the Old Docks, Southampton. In the 1950s Aquila Airways occupied part of a new purpose-built Marine Terminal intended for use by BOAC. It was from here that Aquila operated to a number of idyllic destinations. However, my account ( PFBC HLM Norman Hull ) goes back to 1952/3 when only the Madeira service was in operation - this was the service Aquila ‘made its name on’ and a look will be made at an arrival, and then a departure.

    Index to The Airpost Journal Vol 61-79 1990-2008 Index to THE AIRPOST JOURNAL VOLUMES 61 - 79 Page Section 1 Introduction 2 Airpost Journal Index 59 Author Index INTRODUCTION I have been a member of the American Air Mail Society for many years and during that time I have not done anything useful, except the payment of annual dues. One of the rules I have always adopted is if you are a member of a Society you should do something to further the cause of that body. My opportunity came when I read the President's Message in the December 2008 Air Mail Journal that he wanted somebody to up date the Index of the Air Post Journal so I volunteered little knowing of the task that I was undertaking. I am not a professional indexer but have had a little experience in indexing magazines in the UK. The task was to index the magazines from 1990 to 2008 (228 magazines) roughly in line with the index published in 1992. As previously stated the index continues from the previous edition except that I have included items from Letters to the Editor. I feel that there is much information contained in these letters which is of value to aerophilatelists. To quote the previous index "The APJ Index is meant to be a document helpful, but not comprehensive" and I have tried to continue in this vein. That said I hope that the Index will prove to be of some use. Needless to say any errors, omissions etc are entirely down to me.
