"100 years of British Airways

On August 25th 2019 British Airways turned 100. We are celebrating this landmark birthday by celebrating the people of Britain. Because it’s the brilliant people of Britain who make us who we are."

Aye right.

And BEA, they sponsored me at Uni.

I've still got a book of theirs, borrowed for a project, that I never managed to take back to their library.

In any case, how can an organisation celebrate a centenary that only existed since 1974? It would be like Austin Rover claiming they started in 1896 with the Thornycroft steam waggon.....

They're probably harking back to their predecessor Imperial Airways, but they didn't kick off until well into the 1920s iirc.
