Are we sure it was from 1989? Me thinks after '91 but before '94. The older stripe uniforms from the cabincrew can be seen. I loved flying for BA but times have changed. LUV. *)
cost something like 10 million pounds to make and two weeks to make a 1 minuite add! i think its still the most expensive add ever made, but could be wrong
I just came across this!! I was part of the ear!!!! WOO HOO!!!! It was actually pretty fun to do!!

Does anyone remember the hip-hop version of this music that came out in 91-92? The chorus went..."We love opera..We love opera house"

The flower duet. Can't remember the name of the composer, though he was french and was composed in the 30s.

Yep its from 1989 for sure. it was released a year after merger with Bcal. Cost 14 million quid to make.

14 mil. quid well spent, I'd say! For some people, when this song plays, they think of BA!

They redid in 94, basically recut the scenes with the people to show the crew in the newer uniforms
