Fleets and networks are approximations for the prototype and are scaled to the model. Source: British Caledonian page (exact): March 1975 fleet 707-320C 11, One-Eleven 500 6, One-Eleven 200 7; April 1978 DC-10-30 two with two on order; Plan S retrenchment from 1 November 1974; the 1976 spheres of influence policy ended its New York and Los Angeles flying; Houston from 24 October 1977. The African and South American network is not modelled, so the 707s fly tour routes in the pack. Routes and finance are estimates.
