I think that the uniform was originally designed by the Gestapo as a means of interrogation; you'd confess to anything just on the promise of having it removed from the room :-0 :-D :-D :-D

I think Allan's Thread Title is appropriate for those uniforms Sylvia :-0 :-0 :-0 :-0

I need to lie down in a dark room ;-) :-D:-D

:-D :-D :-D :-D


it was quite the shock!!

Oh Gosh, if you suffered from nausea during the flight - those uniforms would make it worse! :-S

Ohh! I like the plastic bubble idea, but the other uniform would induce migraine :-D :-D

:-D :-D :-D

scroll down, and you'll a picture of a Braniff stewardess in the uniform

the plane we took from New York to Texas when we moved there in 1967 had .................................




cabin crew who did a semi-striptease

:-D :-D :-D :-D





The ladies wore uniforms designed by Pucci, a major designer of the late mid-1960s ....... and his forte was psychedelic colours and patterns

They began wearing blazer, skirt, top, and leggings, all in the same colours and design.


They first took off the jacket


then the skirt came off


then the long sleeved to to show a short sleeved top





and that was where they stopped ....................... because there was hust time for them to get dressed in the reverse order :-D :-D :-D :-D



The outside of the Braniff planes were painted in one of the colours in the uniform




it was quite the eye opener for an innocent naive young Englishwoman :-)

:-D :-D :-D :-D

A bit like the plane we came out on, Sylvia!

It was so old that it had outside toilets ;-) :-D :-D

nah


it'll probably be hard labour or domestic servitude, like the first transportees to Australia


and you'll have to travel steerage .......................


which these days will mean hanging on to the wings of the plane :-)

We are still waiting for the midnight knock on the door! ;-)

If we do get deported back to the UK does that entitle us to a house, full benefits and free medical assistance that I have seen some posters complain about on various boards? :-D :-D :-D :-D

At least my UK age pension would then be indexed! :-| :-| :-D :-D :-D

Australia could send you back to Britain, though :-)




Maybe you'll be the first of the new wave of transportees

:-D :-D :-D

No, no, Maggie!

They will be commercial-in-confidence ;-) :-D :-D :-D :-D

Anyway, they can't transport us as we are already in Australia :-D :-D :-D :-D

I wonder if 'Avon' records will be available in the future? It could be quite interesting..........

:-D :-D

Day-glo pink PH, it goes with my pink top ;-) :-D :-D :-D

No, Sylvia, we'll change our names and go into hiding :-D :-D :-D

Some scandal for the family to find when doing research in 100 years
:-D
