Spot: Crawley Museum Celebrating BCal Exhibition
The Crawley Museum Is Celebrating British Caledonian Airways (BCal)
The Crawley Museum is delighted to celebrate the story of British Caledonian Airways (BCal), one of the most recognisable names in British aviation and an airline closely linked to the local area. Founded in 1961, BCal grew to become the UK’s leading independent airline, connecting Britain with destinations across Europe, Africa, the Middle East and North America. For many local people, BCal was not just an airline but a major employer and a proud part of Crawley’s aviation heritage.
Martin Stone from the Crawley Museum joins Clive Hilton to explain how this celebration explores the people, aircraft and identity that made BCal such a fond memory for so many. From its famous Lion Rampant logo and tartan-inspired branding to its reputation for high-quality customer service, BCal left a lasting mark on British aviation before becoming part of British Airways in 1988.
The exhibition has already attracted significant interest and runs till the 28th March and is open Thursday to Saturday 10.30am to 4pm at the Crawley Museum.
