British Airways Ltd was a private airline company operating in Europe in the 1930s. It was first formed as Allied British Airways in October, 1935 by the merger of Spartan Air Lines and United Airways (no relation to the US carrier United Airlines). It rapidly acquired Hillman's Airways, adopted its definitive name, and transferred its UK base to the new Gatwick Airport. Its corporate emblem was a winged lion.Initially equipped with a mixture of aircraft including the de Havilland Express and three Junkers Ju 52s, it rapidly expanded and established services to Paris, Lille, Cologne, Amsterdam, Hannover, Hamburg, Copenhagen, Malmö and Stockholm.The British Airways name was to re-appear 35 years later when BOAC was re-merged with its 1946 spin-off British European Airways View other product and find out more about Corgi Classics.
