EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from 1960, an air stewardess gracefully serves a meal aboard a BEA (British European Airways) flight, en route from London to Gibraltar. The image transports us back in time to an era of elegant air travel, where the experience began on the ground and continued high above the clouds. The air stewardess, impeccably dressed in her uniform, exudes an air of professionalism and charm as she balances a tray laden with plastic meals and a small luggage rack. The plastic trays and meals were a relatively new innovation in air travel at the time, replacing the traditional china and silverware used in earlier decades. The aircraft's cabin is spacious and well-appointed, with ample legroom and comfortable seating. The windows offer breathtaking views of the sky and the world below, adding to the overall sense of adventure and excitement. Despite the cramped quarters and the challenges of working in a confined space at high altitudes, the air stewardess manages to maintain her composure and attend to her passengers' needs with a smile. Her dedication and attention to detail were essential in ensuring that each passenger enjoyed a comfortable and enjoyable flight experience. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a unique perspective on the role of airline personnel in the golden age of air travel. It serves as a reminder of the importance of hospitality and service, even in the most unexpected of environments. The image is available for licensing through Mary Evans Prints Online, and is a must-have for anyone interested in aviation history, travel, or the evolution of airline service.
