I recall back in the mid to late 70s I was on a flight to Spain with Britannia Airways the cc offered photos 6x4 of the actual a/c we were flying on for sale.
That reminds me as a very young wiglet of going on holiday from Ringway ( to Ronaldsway) in the
very early 60's. Somebody - probably the airline (Cambrian), employed a photographer to take happy snaps of us passengers as we boarded which we could buy for a few pence ( I guess the pics are still at the bottom of a box somewhere).
Sadly what was once a commercial opportunity worthy of MOL and a bit of fun has come to be regarded by some as a threat to the nation's security....
