We found yet another photo of a PWA Hercules. This shows CF-PWO and its crew at Tokyo International Airport just prior to departing for Edmonton on the last leg of a Round-the-World flight in January 1969.
The crew members from left to right: Dennis Mockford, Navigator; F/O Weldon Bradley; Captain Bob Bell; Bob Dobson and Jim Eggen, Engineers, Jerry Kish, Loadmaster and F/O Terry Champion.
This flight was the last in a series of trips, carried out between December 13 and January 17 arranged by our London agents, Clarkair International.
The aircraft, two crews, project manager and maintenance crews were based in London and made flights from London to Prague; Manchester to Dampier (Western Australia); Copenhagen to Nairobi (Kenya); Paris to Dubai (Saudi Arabia) and Manchester to Dampier again.
Loads consisted mainly of bulky generating equipment, electronic components, etc. While the number of trips was not great, the length of the flights produced substantial revenues. A number of potential trips were lost during the Christmas/New Years’ period as there was insufficient time for Clarkair, experts though they are, to overcome the mountains of red tape involved in transporting goods to Africa, the Middle East and the Far East.
