If you read the link I posted I was very surprised to see WH Smiths brought it originally before Branson got his claws in.

Read Richard Bransons autobiography, its very interesting when he set it up.

He went from music producing, with Tubular bells and boy george and such like to setting up an airline, and renting a 747 from boeing!

Really was interesting reading, in the 1990's economic problems he found it was cheaper to buy about 20 new jumbos rather than re-fit the current ones with TVs in the seats.

Also makes you hate BA and i will never fly with them ever again!

I also found his bio really interesting,as you say,what BA tried to do to him (while Mrs T and her chums turned a blind eye) was outrageous.
It was also fascinating to read his insight on his hero Sir Freddie Laker,and how Mrs T hailed him as a champion of great British entrepeneurs and then knifed him in the back so that he would go bust in order to push up the price of BA shares when she privatised it.
