Lynn Barton, the relief BA female First Officer on this flight, made history about 18 years after this documentary as the captain of the first BA flight into Heathrow Terminal 5 - (BA26 flying HKG - LHR in 2008).

Can't believe they made them walk down pat pong road, great doco but also a little weird.

Filmed before the internet when flying like that was still mysterious, good days.

Hi all

Forgive me if this has been posted elsewhere, though I came across this other gem on YouTube, of the same BBC "Airline" program from the early 1990s, but featuring a very detailed look at the delivery of British Airways' first Boeing 747-400.

Included are some great scenes of shooting Air-to-Air with the aircraft, the politics behind airline markets and management between the UK and US, a test flight of the aircraft with a BA Test Pilot, and a rarely scene Delivery process, where money and aircraft keys get exchanged!

I really enjoyed this video, hope others do too.

I love old well produced television documentaries about aviation such as this one, which do well to illustrate aviation to general audiences with great interest.
