#BOAC the iconic British airline, commenced operations on 1 April 1940, and that's no joke!

The elegance of air travel in the 1950s. Rare footage of BOAC's Monarch Service, the world's first non-stop transatlantic jet flight.

A heartbreaking plane crash on Christmas Day morning in 1954 kills 28, including some family members of the crew.

The BOAC pilot was wrongly blamed, but this book reveals why he wasn't at fault.

Verified video shows Air India plane descending and moment of crash - BBC News

My thoughts go out to the families of all those who perished in the crash. RIP.

Raw unused footage of immediate aftermath of the G-ARWE accident at Heathrow, 8 April 1968.

This would have been taken by a resident airport press agency cameraman. Normally these covered arriving VIPs etc, but were also well positioned to cover any accidents ⬇️🧵. #OTD #BOAC
