BA Travel Office, Gordon Street, Glasgow

Does anyone remember the old BA ticket/travel office on the corner of Gordon Street and Union Street in GLA, just across from Central Station?
I was there the other day and walking past it (now a Greggs, OF COURSE

!) had an instant pang of nostalgia...

They used to have some rather lovely model aircraft in the window- an old 747-200 in Landor livery, perhaps?
Inside you could buy a ticket to SYY or SYD (or between the two), a hop on the Trislander to Barra or a return on Concorde from JFK.
If you were lucky (/unlucky!) you might get a Tristar or a 747 on the shuttle to LHR...

Just amazing to think of how much the world has changed in 40 years. I can't even seem to find a photo of the old place on google.
I've probably mixed up a whole load of things in my (now defunct) mind but just wondering if anyone else could correct me!?
