The menu is quite large, the size of a UK A4 letter, on thick grey card with a photograph of a yellow lilly. First Class in italic script is written across the top, with British Airways and the famous speedwing mark underneath. The aircraft, if I recall correctly, was a Tri-Star, with 18 First Class seats in a 2 x 2 x 2 configuration.
