Mr R. D. H. (Roddy) Wilson, BOAC’s manager for the Gulf area in Bahrain, is to become the airline’s manager for the south west Pacific based in Sydney.
He succeeds Mr Sidney Hildrew, who is taking up a new post in the UK. Mr Wilson joined BOAC in 1953 and at different times had been district sales manager Cairo, sales manager Nigeria and manager Calcutta.
Mr Hildrew will take over the position of business travel manager at BOAC’s London headquarters in the New Year. A former RAF pilot, he joined BOAC in 1946. Mr Hildrew told Pacific Jet News: “I am parti cularly sorry to be leaving behind my associations with Fiji and the other Island territories. ‘Aly involvement with various companies associated with BOAC—-Hunts of the Pacific, New Hebrides Air ways and Air Pacific—gave me a close view of the growth of tourism in one of the most delightful parts of the world.”
Mr S. Hildrew—to London.
Mr R. D. H. Wilson—to Sydney.
