Question regarding BEA/BOAC airport chart marterial

Hello everyone,

Out of a personal nostalgical interest I've got a question regarding the airport chart material (airport layout/SID, / STARS/instrument approaches etc..) that BEA and BOAC used / issued to their pilots:

1.)
Did BEA/BOAC provide their very own charts or did they source them from an external supplier like Jeppesen?

2.)
How were this charts distributed to the pilots ? As a complete booklet / manual on the aircraft /pilots ? or from a centralized drawer system where the pilots would pick the needed charts for dep. arr. and altn. airports before each duty?
( I think Lufthansa once had such a system...)

3.)
If they were distributed in booklet from / as complete manual, what was the official name for it? "BEA route manual" or something else ?

I tried finding this on ebay or in digital form at the usual manual sites , but so far no luck.
Maybe because I searched for the wrong terms.

Thank you very much in advance,

Kind regards,

Oliver
