Olympics

We are working hard towards our Plastics for Gold exhibition.  We have some fabulous objects to go on display including a canoe paddle, stadium seat and some rowing pogies.

One sport which will be featured in the display is track cycling, to get you in the mood I wanted to share this fantastic short film 'Boy'.

BOY,' written by British Airways Great Britons winner Prasanna Puwanarajah is a moving short film starring actor Timothy Spall and was inspired by the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Prasanna won over Richard E. Grant and the panel of judges on the BA Great Britons programme with his clear, original and moving script. The film, now complete, will also be show at our pop up event Flight BA2012 and onboard BA flights in the run up to the London 2012 Games.
