British Airways tv advert
Ive seen this new BA advert twice now on tv and both times I got that goosebumps feeling. I don't think an advert has ever done that to me before lol. It features some real iconic aircraft from the past. Vickers VC10, De Havilland Dragon, Douglas DC3, Boeing 747, and of course Concorde, all flying together. Its pretty awesome.
I'll see if I can find a video online and post it for people who have't seen it. edit: wow, full version is even better.

Nice one Pope, thanks for sharing. I don't usually care for adverts but you're right, that one is special.
Here's a link to my favorite "airline" video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?annotat...OF2UpU#t=15.5s

Ah, Pope, you didn't list the bi-plane....
So Pope, or anybody, what is the bi-plane in the advert??
It isn't a Tiger Moth (too big and a 4 blade prop). It does look suspiciously like an old RFC / RAF WW1 to 1930's RE-8 "Harry Tate" recce plane / light bomber / trainer. All were replaced by the Hawker Hart and Hawker Hector in 1930, which in turn, were replaced by the Fairey Battle in 1937. Having flown an RE-8 in some of the missions in the old WW1 Sierra simulator "Red Baron" all I can say is that they are the definition of a sitting duck and have the opposite of agility. The idea of the 4 blade prop was so that it could fly at a higher altitude than conventional recce planes in WW1. In reality it overtaxes the engine at lower altitudes and in dives. Despite this it was reliable. Top speed was 102 MPH on a good day. Defensive armament was a single rear scarff ring mounted lewis gun fired by the observer, a prayer book and a box of lucky Rabbit's feet. RE-8's accounted for the majority of WW1 allied aircraft losses through enemy action....

The bi-plane is a De Havilland DH51, owned by the shuttleworth collection.

On the other side of the rivalry, No offence intended, but what on earth is that Air France Advert ment to represent? The one with the woman spinning around on the man's neck? I don't get it? The only good thing about it is that isn't as anoying as the Go Compare ads.

IWC advert.
Being a watchmaker, & having a passion for WW2 era aviation, this ad makes me smile.
