BOAC - The Jet Set way (Lounge edit)

A tribute to BOAC - the coolest airline for the jet set. The music is Pete Winslow's "Cabasa Samba" - Summer Songbirds album.

[@TullioWalker]

This music and the 60's images give me some kind of strange 'airy feeling' as if everything in the world is just fine. We need to get this feeling back to the world. The world needs to brush away some negative state of mind. A complete reform in arts, science, literature, politics and poetry is needed to bring happiness back.

[@nohaylamujer]

this is amazing! airplanes, 60's fashion, traveling, images of my childhood, what more can one ask for? i have just discovered these videos on youtube. i'm planning to watch every one of them! thank you for this unexpected pleasure

The Days of Cool Class and Social Styles!😍

[@darrowby1972]

There was something soothing about BOAC the same as there is a certain class that fly British Airways. Lovely Roy Budd`esque keyboards!

[@JackF99]

Mike Humble The class issue is actually the only good part about deregulation of the airlines. You don't have to be wealthy to afford it. The rest is definitely a negative

[@dianadoos1944]

Exactly

[@softtempo]

gotta love that organ!

[@jimrockford5514]

Great Era

[@sheatheman]

Perfect. I always have this music in my head, it has sort of been metaphysically transferred there from living in proximity to this era, but I have never done that much etymological/musicological work. Great. Love you.

[@Gulfstream7]

Music reminds me alot of what I used to hear from "The Persuaders" Tv show.

[@drwinkle101]

I was in the BOAC Junior Jet Set in the 1960s!

[@henrystowe6217]

Same 1972-73. Before it became BA. I lost interest after that.

[@alanstarkie2001]

I used to have one of those in the 60's, a kind of blue vinyl shoulder holdall with white piping on the seams and of course the BOAC logo

[@dubby46]

Ah the glamour of the jet set lifestyle.sadly we now have ryanair.

[@sgcim]

Great organ, nice tune

[@EduarquiRJ]

I am seeing many videos from your channel before my subscription, and everything to be seen looks like gold nuggets! Thank you for opening our memories with your own.

[@johnkollor]

Nice vintage shots of Hong Kong =]

[@am1966ath]

Those were the days to travel. Today everything is so strealined and non-stop..hate non-stop.

[@drwinkle101]

In the 60s and 70s, any employee of BOAC got 2 free trips to anywhere every 5 years. Even the cleaners. You could go to more than one place on several planes. Counted as one trip. My father was an engine fitter, and we went all over the world 'cos flying was free.

[@Desertduleler_88]

My father was a pilot with Ansett 1964-88 it was a great time to fly with services that have gone by the wayside. Unfortunately due to "deregulation", the airlines have really gone to shit now, it is noting more than "cattle class".......

[@EasySounds]

+MrStoneycool69 Ha, Ansett, I was lucky enough to fly with it in 2001, before it went defunct. I still remember the heptagonal star.

[@dianadoos1944]

that is exactly what I was just saying

[@Sergii-h1o]

Awesome kinda beauty music n lovely❤❤

It seems that our society is falling apart now compared to this time.

[@iacomastro]

"Seems"???....

[@mikeoxmaul45]

We live in a falling apart society

[@dahlia_124]

Oh yes that plastic is very progressive .....

[@timothylegg]

Cool video. That sure looks like Hong Kong at 0:02-0:26.

[@softtempo]

Thanks man. It is HK... well spotted

[@SonattaMorales]

Wouldn't know for certain but it certainly sounds like him. It's a KPM so it's highly likely :)

[@belga3513]

Cool !

[@STP43FAN1]

To Dave Volsky - was this used by NFL Films? Given their association with KPM Musichouse this track screams late-60s NFL Films.

[@bootchop88]

does any body know what happened to the " Soft Tempo Lounge " channel on youtube? It just disappeared today.

[@stephenhowell5611]

Sock it to me baby ! Some footage of a super VC10 would have been nice, cool vid and tune.

Mi antidepresivo ,real.

[@birdie2219]

yeah working for the airlines is the pits these days. The cheaper the airline the worse it is...

[@drwinkle101]

Yes, but if you had one with mileage written in by the captain or pilot (couldn't be a stewardess), you were part of the junior jet set. Very 60s, like the Chelsea set. I'd rather have been in the mile high club though.

[@alanstarkie2001]

Remember Dan Air? - folks used to call it Dan Dare!

[@skylongskylong1982]

I remember chatting to a Dan Air pilot who said when their main radio failed they tried to check for a loose wire on the antenna. They pulled out the radio half way, and it got stuck, and could not push forward or back. This made it impossible to push the joystick forward for landing. So they to use the aircraft’s fire axe to remove the radio !

[@raymondttompson2638]

Yes I was a steward on the Boeing 727 and Airbus A300 at LGW

[@alanstarkie2001]

[@P00katube]

Some Quinten Tarintino movie brought me here.

[@ChaklitTea]

this song came in 1972

[@JetRanger0007]

sounds like music from some clint eastwood dirty harry movie or somethin !

[@ExtrovertedCenobite]

The last time I took a flight, the stewards was so large that everytime she walked up and down the isle she hit my shoulders with her arse. How times have changed and not for the better in some cases.

[@Skidoo22]

I thought that plane was gonna crash

[@softtempo]

Just say thank god you don't work for EasyJet or Ryan Air...

[@wiltner]

The Aircraft were noisey, not as insulated and not nearly as safe as today. There were no personal entertainment systems or flight status video in the back of seats. No GPS tracking and advance warning systems like today. Just old Radar and Radio communication. Sure it looks like a 'nicer' world but if you were to go back there is a lot you would miss. I'm talking about long Haul here not Low Fare short haul with regards to creature comforts. Boac Comet or A340 or B777. No contest. Sorry.

[@hanstun1]

How dare you bring logic and reason into the picture.... :)

[@Roger-mz4lx]

And everyone dressed to the 9's back then, no flp flops and shorts like today.

[@mikeoxmaul45]

These were good times to fly, but only to the privileged. Tickets were so expensive before the deregulation. Way too much legroom that you can lie down. Champagne and vomiting everywhere because eating and drinking was the only in-flight entertainment. Nowadays, airlines are cheaper, but the service is relative to your ticket price; the luxury option is still there. You have the choice to take the good or the bad. You be the judge.
