It's great, isn't it?

simmie · September 29, 2011, 05:23:02 PM

I must admit I love the Dragon, The Dak, The VC-10 and Concorde

"Commercial", guys, commercial. An ad/ad/advertisement is printed, while a commercial is aired...

(being my old JMN again, or probably it's the former English teacher in me...

).

It is good isn't it

Wonderful. Those VC-10s and the shot of Concorde overtaking the 747 and VC-10 at the end.

Very good ! And when the BWB comes along, it will look splendid stitched right into that existing commercial.

"Commercial" is very American, something we tend to avoid if possible.

I remember a wonderful British Airways ad on the radio once... It had all different music from around the world slowly building and mixing till suddenly you recognised the BA theme music... Amazing use of sound scape... wouldnt mind a mp3 of it if i could find it.. lol

I saw this in HD glory today on BBC America. I loved the last shot with the Concorde screaming above head, flying beyond the VC10 and 747-400.

They're adding a new coat of arms to the livery, next to the "British Airways" lettering. Interestingly, the new coat of arms has 10 concorde's flying out of the sun..... funny, cus BA only had seven! Maybe they've got 3 hidden in a hangar somewhere

I agree, that last sequence is absolutley fantastic!
