OKeith Hey wood mentions a photograph in Saga magazine of January 2003 showing the nose of de Havilland D.H.91 G-AFDK Fortuna with the BOAC Speedbird insignia and British Airways beneath the name. He says records show this aircraft belonging solely to Imperial Airways (later BOAC) before being written-off in July 1943. The picture also shows Avro Anson G-AGGK, registered to BOAC in May 1943, one of a batch being ferried to Aboukir for the RAF. This dates the photograph as between May and July 1943, so why the British Airways insignia?
