THE WAY IT WAS This
document from Qantas Service Number EM502/310A on 23 May 1951 lists
the names of all the passengers and crew. Today, privacy and security
considerations alone would make such a document impossible! The flight
was evidently operated by a Lockheed 749 Constellation but unfortunately
the registration of the aircraft is not recorded on the document.
A typical EM502 departed London at 0930 on a Tuesday for Rome, Cairo,
Karachi, Bombay, Calcutta, Singapore, Djakarta, Darwin and Sydney
where it arrived at 0730 Saturday. Qantas Captain Jock Ross and his
family were passengers on this flight. The typewritten sections of
the original are very faded so these areas have been enhanced for
legibility. |
