ghYHZ Posted September 26, 2019 Report Share Posted September 26, 2019 On a trip to Newfoundland last week….I stopped by the small town of Botwood that played a major role in the development of transatlantic commercial air service. https://goo.gl/maps/XH6K1zMxvhzZLwwj6 Here’s the original Terminal Building used by Pan Am in the late 1930’s through the mid ‘40s during the Flying Boat Era. There’s an interesting Museum there depicting that heritage: This is a floating kerosene Flare Pot that marked the landing area out in the Bay of Exploits Here’s the schedule at Botwood in 1945. By the following year the Flying Boat era was over and Pan Am had relocated 40 miles away to Gander and the TATL service was now on a DC-4. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
