BSA again - B****y Sore A**e. Not an acronym, but Frantic B*****d for Francis Barnett I liked - or was that the owner. Actually, BSA B series singles were very strong, and there were lots of lovely Gold Star bits to put in them. Mind you, I had one really explode - 7 1/2 k was too much.

The BOAC quote should have been, referring to their pilots "Boys overseas after cr*mp*t". (Official version given to me by a British Midland Airways stewardess). Reply | Report as offensive | Link
