February 22, 20197 yr I remember the BOAC jingle form the late 60's, "BOAC takes good care of you". Heard this as a kid living in the west end of Toronto. Still can't find it these days.
February 23, 20197 yr And who can forget this British Airways commercial if they are old enough to remember it:
February 23, 20197 yr Moderator When I lived in Tehran back in the very early sixties, we kids called BOAC "Better On A Camel" and TWA as "Try Walking Awhile", as we much preferred Pan American (PAA) which is how nearly all of us flew into Mehrabad Airport.

February 23, 20197 yr Another UK airline I miss is British Caledonian. My one and only flight on a BAC-111 was between Gatwick and Amsterdam in 1984 at a cruising altitude of only 23,000 feet. It was a thrill to fly what was by then a classic aircraft on its way out of common use. John
