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. # BOAC #aviation #aircrash #avgeek

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 β¬‡οΈπŸ§΅. #OTD #BOAC
