BEA British European Airways was the UK’s State owned domestic and medium haul airline until it merged with BOAC to form British Airways in 1973.

This promotional film was produced to celebrate BEA’s 25th Silver Anniversary in 1971, and highlight the airline’s accomplishments and operations during that year. BEA and associated airlines operated an all British built fleet of airliners including the Vickers Viscount and Vanguard, the BAC One Eleven, the Hawker Siddeley Trident and of course the De Havilland Comet 4.
