BA on the BIG screen (or small screen if you're watching on-board)
I was watching Mission: Impossible the other day, with that scene in the Old Old First Class cabin, where Jim Phelps is receiving a video message which is played through the personal video player (pre-AVOD!) and then it self-destructs 
, so he has to light a cigarette to hide the smell.
But it got me thinking – what other movies have BA aircraft starred in? Surely there were some James Bonds with Concorde in, weren’t there (before Beardy stole the limelight)? And surely loads of other famous BA appearances on the big screen.
Can we pull together a list between us…?

Ignoring all the Bonds,
Fish Called Wanda,
Parent Trap
Coming to America
Three Men and a Baby
Family Guy (okay so the small screen on that one)
Bond is shown in Moonraker arriving in Rio on a Concorde but it' an AF one not a BA one.

In the film 'Valentine's Day', one of the characters is driving to the airport and a BA plane (I think it was a 747) flies right overhead for the perfect shot.

Bond flew BA Club Europe (because Q scanned his BP and it said C on it) in a 757 from London to Russia in Golden Eye.
He did go on Concorde at least once - possibly in a Roger Moore film. Would have to check and I think it was an Air France Concorde.
In Doctor No - loved the way that as the Pan Am 707 arrives in Jamaica - the control tower "phones" New York to tell them that "Your flight XYZ just arrived in Kingston.
Bros an also flies BA in The Thomas Crown Affair.

Does he, when? At the end of the film where he is sitting behind Renee he is on an American plane (not sure of the airline), he flies a glider and a private jet, but I don't remember a BA plane at all.

Airport 79 has a Concorde as the main plane and it had a reddy/orange BOAC style speedmark on the tailfin. not sure if that counts.

The VIPs with Margaret Rutherford et al (1963).
John Cleese in Crown First Class in a Fish called Wanda
David Niven in BOAC/BA Y to KL in Paper Tiger (1975)
The Games (1970) with Stanley Baker has good scenes in F on a BOAC 707
