BMA commenced in 1964 and ceased to exist as an independent airline in 2012 when it merged into British Airways.

Smoking was advertised everywhere in those days, and no one thought of the cancer risks - the tobacco lobby, until relatively recently, held sway over the governments, and brought in a huge amount of revenue. And Jersey had cheaper cigarettes, duty free, just the thing for the tourist. Notice how glamorous it appears - and yet nicotine is a highly addictive drug which causes damage to the lungs. I can't help reflecting that if Sir Walter Raleigh had brought back cannabis rather than tobacco, it would now be tobacco that would be the dangerous illegal drug. And not as effectively, it does have some pain relieving qualities when smoked.

I have never heard of "The Place", but I love the 1960s psychedelic advert here.




Finance was only just making inroads into Jersey.



I love the 1960s style chairs - so dated now! And rather uncomfortable. No proper back support. Ergonomics was years away.



Cambrian Airways was an airline based in the United Kingdom which ran operations from Cardiff Airport and Liverpool John Lennon Airport between 1935 and 1974. It was incorporated into British Airways when BOAC, BEA, Cambrian and Northeast merged on 1 April 1974.
