There is an excellent interview on YouTube with the late Sir Adam Thompson from Radio 4 explaining the history of BCAL right up to it's take over by British Airways in August 1988. I can't link to it right now but it's extremely interesting to listen to. He was a pure honest gentleman and in the interview you can clearly hear his sadness when he's explaining and recollecting the story.
