This day in history...June 24

Quite a selection today starting in 1932 when Pulkovo was founded, later to be named Rossiya.

The name BWIA was restored today in 1948.

We take a look at rotary craft now as Bristow Helicopters was established in 1955.

A maiden flight next as the Hawker Siddeley, latterly the British Aerospace 748 took to the skies in 1960.

2003 saw the start of Greek operator, Hellas Jet.
