Me. I used to fly MAN-LHR on a BEA viscount or vanguard.£2 ten shillings round trip for a youth fare. No mention of BA in those days.
I used to go to check in, get my boarding pass and wander to the gate, no checked baggage, no olci and no security. Walk across the apron and up the steps. As a youngster I always remember the BEA crew fussing over me. Now I'm old and knackered the BA crew do the same^
