A couple of requests

Hi chaps,

I wonder if anyone can help me out. I'm after two things....

The font (or closest match) to that used for the "BRITISH EUROPEAN AIRWAYS" text on the side of their aircraft in the 1950s. Its close to Times New Roman, but the middle diagonals of the W cross over which they don't in Times.

Secondly, does anyone have (or can find?) the old Hunting group logo (i.e. the one prior to the one on the side of G-APEP)?

The Hunting logo is late 60s/70s/80s era I think. I'm after one similar to the one in this pic:

It looks identical to what I remember being on Hutning's units in my hometown circa late 1980s or very early 90s so I suspect it was very long lived! The photo above is dated 1970.
