Further to my post of 10th May on this thread, I have just found this….
http://www.abtn.co.uk/news/0315882-comair-confirms-gatwick-durban-intentions
so it looks like Comair will fly into Gatwick either as BA or Kulula.
I just thought I would add a little historical perspective to this thread.
This is a listing of the BA intercontinental network, with frequencies and aircraft types, for the winter period 1977-78

while here is the same for BEA´s 1972 summer schedule (note the few services out of Gatwick). This is just before its merger with BOAC to become BA.

In those days BEA shared both the flight frequency and the income with the destination country´s flag carrier on the route. That way you could fly out on one airline and fly back on the other, if need be.
