A little before BA itself, but I found these in the loft while getting it tidied for new insulation:



There are two of them (one in better condition than the other) and the pic is of one side from each.

Thought some might be interested, and maybe able to date them. Maybe an ancestor of c-w-s was even on the flight...

Main 'oddity' that I noticed is the weight being in kg. I thought it was still lb until far more recently.

Found these going through some old bits this afternoon! Used to collect the tags in the 90s - this would've been the CE champagne at the time

Which route would the Boarding Pass have been mid / late 90s?

I remember this BA News! I was a young teenager when my dad brought it home and I pored over it again and again and again, then dreamed about flying Club, knowing it would happen soon. Staff were also given a small cardboard box with some chocolates in at about the same time. The box had Club World and Raid the Larder logos on it and I kept that little box for years (I might even still have it in storage somewhere).


And... this is my thousandth post [/geek] Nah.. my [geek] mode is stuck...

Fascinating scans, thanks for sharing. Was the 1995 new First seat ever fitted on the DC-10 as the article suggests?
