The British Airways Family Tree: Part 4 British Caledonian

Caledonian Airways, with its roots in post-war Scotland, began as a charter operator, steadily expanding its reach. Meanwhile, British United Airways emerged as a formidable force through the amalgamation of several smaller airlines, each with its own unique history. These diverse components, each carrying the weight of their own triumphs and challenges, converged in the mid-20th century, forming a powerful alliance that would eventually become British Caledonian. Their shared ambition to challenge the dominance of state-owned British airlines provided the impetus for this merger, a union that would shape the landscape of British aviation for years to come.

I wish you would slow down the route map slides. They go by so fast that I have to stop the video. Also where do you get these rare photos? I would love to see them in their true colours.
