1963: A Historic Encounter of Two Iconic Airlines - Boeing 707-436 G-APFF of Nigeria Airways and BOAC at London Airport (LAP) This evocative black-and-white photograph captures a significant moment in aviation history, as two iconic airlines, Nigeria Airways and British Overseas Airways Corporation (BOAC), came together at London Airport (LAP) on 15 May 1963. The star of the scene is the sleek and powerful Boeing 707-436, registration number G-APFF, belonging to Nigeria Airways. The Boeing 707, a pioneering twin-engine jet airliner, revolutionized air travel during the 1950s and 1960s. Nigeria Airways, established in 1958, was the national flag carrier of Nigeria, connecting the country to the world. The 707-436, with its distinctive hump, was a symbol of progress and modernity for the young African nation. British Overseas Airways Corporation (BOAC), on the other hand, was the United Kingdom's flag carrier, known for its impeccable service and innovative in-flight amenities. The encounter between these two airlines at London Airport symbolizes the growing connections between Africa and the rest of the world during this period. The image captures the Boeing 707-436 G-APFF, resplendent in Nigeria Airways livery, as it taxis on the tarmac, ready to disembark passengers. In the background, we see the BOAC aircraft, a testament to the close relationship between the two airlines. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the rich history of aviation and the role these airlines played in shaping the world's air travel landscape. This photograph, taken on 15 May 1963, is an invaluable piece of aviation history, showcasing the meeting of two iconic airlines and their powerful Boeing 707 jets. It is an essential addition to any aviation enthusiast's collection or a captivating conversation starter for those interested in the history of air travel.
