I'm not 100% keen of the voice over, but otherwise I kinda like it!

Kind regards

Nice John...Thanks

Oddly, the Concorde is, in a way, the only true museum piece in that historic telling

All the others still have flying examples and live on in a limited fashion and a such are current

Who would ever thought it a few years ago

[WhisperJet]

Lovely, many thanks!

Nowadays it's not quite often that I hear myself saying: what an airline!!!
But I actually just did.

Best wishes,

Nick

The "Making of "Aviators" is a nice change from usual commericals in that they actually cared about doing it right and even if for a moment, BA recognizing that they only got where they are because of many other companies like BOAC and BEA. I definitely like the CGI at the end because it's not overly "cartoonish", something a lot of airplane CGI suffers from.

Nice video. Does anybody know the rego of the DH Rapide in the video?

Wouldn't it be ironic if some member(s) of the viewing public contacted British Airways, asking them when those nice sleek modern looking Four-Engined T-Tail Airliners were being introduced into service, together with that handsome dark blue livery with the gold Speedbird symbol on the Tailfin.....

G-ADCN in the film but ADCN was an 86.. and of course, Imperial didn't fly the Rapide so it was done for effect. No idea what the real reg for the Rapide is but I can look
