BOAC nostalgic adverts...
Hi Guys,
Saw this posted on another aviation related website, some of you guys might have already seen it but I thought I'd share anyways....
Makes me laugh when the Sgt Major goes to crack the whip in the galley with the captain doing his best Sid James impression
Think its a VC10 cabin?

Enjoy,
James.

Well.....at least though you can travel now
In that era we couldn't afford it.....one of the reasons why it was so sort of posh then, the whole thing was a different type of experience.
There was a thread about that about a week or so ago

Good memory, Toby. Yes I posted it a while back and we all had a bit of a reminisce and a discussion on falling standards :sad:TobyV wrote:Didnt Ian himself post that Sgt Major aadvert some while back?

1969 was three years before I joined BOAC but I still had to wear the little white jacket and dicky bow. It is a VC10 - the 707 didn't have covers on the hatracks.
Funnily enough, I'm intending to use this ad in a presentation to our Customer Services Director next week. I want to use it to illustrate 'Service Style' which is something that BA later developed very effectively. This ad was way ahead of its time in that it encapsulates BOAC's core values and showed people exactly what to expect when flying with them. And all in less than 60 seconds.
I think I'll have an uphill struggle transferring it to First Great Western, though

AAAAArgh! Nice Mr Tonks. In the unlikely event that you should ever find it surplus to requirement....
Money's no object - I'll sell the cats for vivisection, send cyberbrat up the chimneys - whatever it takes! But as that's unlikely, perhaps you've got a bigger scan that you could let me have? I'll send a PM in optimistic hope
BOAC did introduce minidresses as we've seen in that other YouTube video. As a younger man, my whole life used to revolve around trying to discover what lay beyond that hemline. (With a moderate amount of success, I might add )
Don't recognise those particular legs. They're definitely not mine.
