    Indian Air Hostesses with their sari uniforms bring colour to London Airport.

  • Description

    Heathrow, London.

    The air hostesses of Air India show off the latest fashion design for their traditional sari uniforms.
    M/S of a sandalled foot at the bottom of a sari, pan up to show air hostess in sari. She checks her make up in a hand mirror and puts on lipstick. Another girl wears a gold and green sari.

    An Air India stewardess has a tray of boiled sweets and offers some cologne on a cloth to a male passenger. An Air India jet taxis to stop, and the hostesses are seen coming down the aircraft steps, they lead the passengers towards the BOAC bus. They shake hands and give the traditional 'namasti' greeting. They all board the bus, and the buses move off, away from the aircraft.

    Note: The file indicates that the two hostesses were Joan Hume and Shanta Gopaldas. See also CP 405 Cuts.
