2O FLIGHT 17 AUGUST 1951 B.O.A.C. takes good care of you In this modern age of air travel it is no uncommon experience to board an aircraft in freezing weather and land in tropic heat less than 12 hours later. In flight, air-conditioning ensures that a comfortable cabin temperature is maintained. But not so on the ground because doors and hatches must of necessity be opened. However, B.O.A.C. now has a solution to this problem too. Mobile air-conditioning units will stand by at airports in the tropics to supply refuelling aircraft with fresh cool air. Conversely, in cold regions they are equally ready to pump in warm air when it's freezing outside. Thus B.O.A.C. ensures that the temperature is right throughout the journey — both while airborne and on the ground. These Godfrey R.2000 air-conditioning units are another example of B.O.A.C.'s long-range policy of constantly improving the comfort of its passengers.
