Always hear it on my MF shorthaul flights, never on my EF flights (only two this year though).

Ok, here's one to test the memories and it has been really bugging me for years now! Mid-90's BA used to play a video on the drop down CRT TVs on boarding of 'all things British'- changing of the guard, Windsor castle, that street from the Hovis advert etc and there was a piece of music over the top of it. I'm almost 100% sure it wasn't Flower Duet, I remember it being more 'trumpety'.

You'd be settling years of searching if you knew what i was rambling on about!

This link no longer works, and I can't find anything about the music online.
Do you have the music still?

They should have played it when we were all on hold to the call centre during the Omicron wave.

Someone has recovered the tape deck thing from an ex-BA Boeing 757 and uploaded the boarding music contained within. Will probably trigger memories for a few people here

14 years on and it’s still spooky.
