There is mention of Maureen O'Hara acting as a stewardess on page 6 here:

There had been for some a further memorable encounter of meeting Maureen O’Hara dressed as a late-1940s stewardess:

‘Soon after we had got into the aircraft a very attractive air stewardess appeared in a 1940s style outfit - Maureen O’Hara the wife of Captain Charles Blair…The joyride was quite spectacular, for I was not prepared for the amount of splashed water as we took off. Then we flew at low level right round the coastline of the Isle of Wight.’
