Happy Christmas to all 🎄

About 40 years ago, during the festive season, a daring British Airways stewardess named Jane surprised everyone. She designed and printed her own Christmas cards, then convinced BA management to let her sell them—with all proceeds going to a charity of her choice.

No endless meetings, no lawyers, no red tape—just courage, creativity, and kindness. I’ve kept one of those cards ever since, as a reminder of what one person’s initiative can achieve.

In today’s world of procedures and approvals, her story feels even more remarkable. It shows that sometimes, all it takes is one bold idea to make a difference.

Here’s to the Janes of the world—past and present—who remind us that the true spirit of Christmas is generosity and daring.

'Here he goes again', you say!

Nevertheless, nostalgia sites like this - along with its associated sites - only stay relevant as long as they DO stay relevant!

This is prompted by that realisation and comments from my family and friends travelling with BA lately who bear out what others are saying - i.e. the crew were great, but the state of the aircraft, coupled with other passengers' undisciplined and unchallenged behaviour... and what the crew were being forced to serve - were (at the very best) awful.

   How BA respond to that, of course, is entirely up to them, but as OUR interest is YOU lot(!), here's the question:-

'Are you happy with the format we use now, or would you also see a need for a site which meets the needs of today's crew in the 'new' British Airways?'
