Manx Airlines Stewardess Hat

Manx Museum Accession Number - 1992-0073/1

Manx Airlines operated between the Isle of Man and UK regional airports in the 1980s and 1990s. In 2002 the airline ceased to exist as an independent carrier when its parent company was absorbed by British Airways. The distinctive red and green livery of its aircraft disappeared under the standard BA colours. With it went the distinctive uniforms of its crew, such as this hat with three legs motif, and the traditional greeting in Manx which they offered to passengers.
