And BEA was known to BOAC as the Hounslow flying club.

I don't recall the use of the Albion callsign but my brain is a bit addled now.

One Christmas Eve a Norjet Trident was given Aberdeen direct to Heathrow and did it in record breaking time. I was working in Approach Control and invited the crew up to see us, provided they brought the hosties. Soon after they arrived in Approach en masse complete with cases of lager!! Great days.
