Nice pictures. I suggest visiting the heritage center in Waterside if anyone here is interested in aviation history, it's a good way to spend a long layover with no time to go to central London.

It's interesting to see how F has developed over the years in pic 10. Those 'Crown First' seats look really comfy! It doesn't look like there's enough room those two rear passengers to recline into the full 'Sleeperseat' though

Nice pictures, although the last picture captioning is not exactly accurate talking of the 'new London Singapore route'...

I like the picture on the shuttle.....that was a right faff for the crew. I once walked on with a flight voucher in my brother in laws name that his employer used to give to him regularly but which he didn't always use.
Does anyone recognise the woman in the window seat?

Great photos. I am reminded of the days as a 9 year old I was allowed to sit at the controls of a BA trident and turn one of the dials. That was exciting!
I never got to fly First class in those days but wow - what a difference to today.
