BOAC - It's a Small World By Speedbird

Description:

The plane in the main image is the Hythe Speedbird flying boat, which commenced service in 1939 in Europe and continued until 1974. When the first Qantas flying boat took off in 1938 from Sydney's Rose Bay bound for England, passengers were provided with fishing lines for use on any of the thirty stops along the way. The Hythe class was an upgraded Short Sandringham and called the "Hythe" class by BOAC.

The second plane in the poster is the fantastic Lockheed Constellation which BOAC ordered in 1946. This US purchase was criticized by many brits.
