British Caledonian was a large British airline, with a base at London_Gatwick airport, which flew to European, African and South American destinations in the 70's and 80's , posing big competence against British Airways, until both airlines merged in 1987.
There is both a tabular and a quick reference section; you can download the whole tabular section as a PDF file at this link.
Un horario especialmente fascinante, que para mi representa mucho de lo que significaba la aviacion en Europa en los años 70 y 80, con un montón de rutas "exóticas" operadas por pequeñas compañias como Colmar-Paris en Air Alsace y empresas como British Caledonian que cubrían como alternativa a British Airways una red de destinos europeos un tanto excéntrica y una impresionante red intercontinental.
This is a fascinating timetable, showing much of what is lost in European (and world) aviation and a hint of the airline scene in Europe in the 70's and the 80's : lots of small airlines flying "odd" routes such as Colmar-London by Air Alsace, connecting with carriers such as British Caledonian which provided an "alternative" service to British Airways, with a somewhat eccentric European network and an impressive array of intercontinental destinations.
A "low cost alternative" combining train and air travel between England and France :)
