Is there anywhere that the old schedules can be downloaded from, I see there are plenty of Timetable pictures and websites but it is the content I want to look at.

Thanks for your reply. What I am after is actual schedules ie departure and arrival times etc and equipment used.

I have a massive reprint of the OAG with examples of every year from 1929 thru 1939 (or '41; I'll have to look). If you have something specific in mind that fits into that period, I might be able to scan the appropriate page(s) for you.

Sorry for being so ignorant but what is the OAG? However thanks for the offer, I might take you up on that when I know. I looked at the site linked in the above posts. It is mainly photos of the exterior of timetables. There are a few interiors with schedules.
I am really interested in anything from the Golden or Silver Age.

AOG is Official Airline Guide, still published today. The massive (5 pounds?) reprint I have contains schedules, fares, and equipment for pretty much all the airmail/airline companies operating during the years quoted, with larger foreign carriers added in the early 30s. I'm not sure how well it would scan because it is rather unwieldly (I think that's a word), but if you had a specific airline or year in mind, I can give it a try.

Thanks I will let you know. I will have to put on my thinking cap.
By the way I have a copy of 1919 Wonder Book of Aeroplanes. Lovely to look at things from the past.
Thanks again
Simon
