Where can I hang my anorak?
Addition - the Speedbird was a logo that BA used to use - it is not a reference to Concorde! I'll try and find a picture.

Speedbird goes back beyond BOAC as has been stated. BEA was Bee Line for all aircraft until the merge in 1973.
You can hang it here Dear? I have recently heard
JetSet
Snowbird (both in UK airspace)
Springbok (SAA?)
A propos of nothing, I was told that other day that when CDG opened in 74, they had to insist that the TWA crews called it "Charles de Gaulle" as they insisted on calling it "Charley Tower" . ATC feared confusion with Orly Tower.
