I'm reminded of the day that British Midland introduced their "Diamond Service" onto GLA-LHR, mid-1980s. BA went and put a Concorde on the Shuttle to London, as they used to occasionally, ostensibly for publicity but it was actually just as much a training/currency flight that would otherwise have operated to/from Shannon. It arrived right in the middle of BMA's press conference at GLA about their new service. Not a journalist remained in the room
