British billionaire and owner of Virgin Atlantic airlines Sir Richard Branson, as well as many other Virgin things, has a cameo appearance in the most recent Bond film Casino Royale unless, of course, you see the film on a British Airways flight, in which case he doesn't! Virgin and BA have a relationship that is mostly defined by enmity going back to the early 90s. In addition to the disappearance of the face shot of Sir Richard Virgin Air planes appearing in the film have had their tail fins altered as well. A spokesperson for BA is quoted as saying:
"All films are screened. We want to ensure that they contain no material that might upset our customers."
I reckon they don't want to upset the board either!
