British Airways - Bring a plane down your street

Hartington

Fun, isn't it. I was playing around with it yesterday trying out various postcodes.

Very good, used a couple of old addresses

Yes, I saw it mentioned in the BA thread in A,A &R. I tried the postcodes for House of Commons and Buckingham palace but they don't have the images!

"Sorry, we have no imagery here" but only after the video was almost over.

Typical BA.

Perhaps it's in case someone gets the idea of flying a 747 into the House of Commons. It might be an accident but it wouldn't be a tragedy! Actually, it would, it's a beautiful building and it would be a waste if it were empty at the time.

Having seen the BA 'down your street' ad several times on television, am still highly amused to watch the passenger bridge being carefully extended to the incorrect side of the aircraft in the closing frames.

I can only imagine how much money they spent on this advert for them to allow such a mistake to occur. I mean it's all computerised, it would have been no hassle at all to have the aircraft using the make believe jetty at the stadium, there doesn't appear to be any reason whatsoever that they have made this mistake. It's actually quite irritating.

So I guess the postcode only works for local UK postal codes. Can someone suggest a UK postcode I can use just for fun? Thanks.

FY1 4BJ, Blackpool Tower & promenade

No postcode ever works for me. It only plays the original video.

The key is - any postcode in a any street that has been photographed by G**gle Street View!

...and it has to be in the UK.

I think it's a fun advert, though was it really necessary to drive a 777 over the M4 Flyover and cause all taht disruption last week?!
