British European Airways - what kind of airline was it?

[Mooncrest]

BEA expanded further into the UK regions during the 1960s with its gradual acquisition of BKS/Northeast and Cambrian, supplying both airlines with surplus Viscount 806s and establishing British Air Services as a holding company. Who knows if these were purely business decisions or driven by Ronald Edwards and his gang ? Before my time but I'd argue that both airlines were essentially operating as BEA in all but name by the early 1970s.
