El RIGHT ' nternational, .omiory 1964 JANUARY 19 64 CENSUS No 6 OF THE SERIES THIS is the sixth Flight International Airliner Census to bepublished and, as before, is a very extensive revision of theprevious edition, which appeared in our issue of December 20, 1962. As usual, great care has been taken to ensure that the Census is as complete and accurate as possible, a task which in- volves checking and cross-checking several sources of information— sources which sometimes contradict each other. This contradiction is perhaps most in evidence regarding the types used by Aeroflot: the Russian airline's 11-18 and Tu-104 totals are based on registrations for which there is definite evidence, but some observers estimate that Aeroflot has at least 200 of each of these types. It may be significant, though, that the figures quoted in this year's Census are much closer to the 1962 ICAO estimates of 60 II-18s and 130 Tu-104s quoted in the 1962 Census than to the figure of a couple of hundred each. As in past years, any additions or deletions to the Census that readers can suggest—whether to Russian or other types—will be welcome for the reason that perfection in a compilation such as this, involving as it does literally hundreds of separate totals, is never entirely possible. The usual method of presentation has been adhered to: numbers of aircraft now in service (with any still to be delivered in paren- thesis) are listed according to the nationality of their manufacturers, and each column has regional sub-divisions for ease of reference. In several instances the appropriate mark number or sub-variant designation appears against the airline's name: the letter "B" indicates Boeing 720B or Fokker/Fairchild F-27B; "F" and "CF" indicate DC-7F and DC-7CF; "C" indicates L-188C Electra, and "A" indicates Fokker/Fairchild F-27A. The letters FS after a number indicate that the aircraft in question are known to be up for sale, while the letter L denotes that the airliners are leased to the carrier, usually by another airline. Other abbreviations are: FS = Flying Services, AS = Air Services, A/W = Airways; an airline's full title can in most cases be obtained by referring to this journals' World Airlines Survey of April 11, 1963. Where aircraft have been modified to a later model—e.g., Convair 340s to 440 standard—they are listed under their original type. I Miff* Transport Publication!
