Northern (N): Poland (NP). Civil Air Service between UK and Poland

1958

A file of correspondence on the inaugural commercial flights between London and Warsaw. The file discusses a successful application for a British official from West Berlin to meet the flight from Warsaw to London when it stopped for refuelling at an East Berlin airfield; the arrangements for a reception for the Polish party in London; and the attendance of the former British ambassador to Moscow, William Hayter, on the return flight to Warsaw. The file also contains a report on the inaugural flights, which noted that the British operator British European Airlines might struggle to make a profit from the service, and that the ceremonies had been carried out in a friendly and successful manner.
