Back in BOAC days the training was pretty strict in particular for the girls regards makeup and deportment.
The boys were chased constantly on shoes and hair styles.
However in the classroom it was much more relaxed than today.
My two trainers, Snowy Philpott and Johnny Lythe were old hands who had seen it all and injected humour and gentle discipline in to us.
If 'snapshots' had existed then no one would have passed!
One memorable answer to a question from a fellow trainee when asked what Beth Din meant (it's the term used in Kosher food preparation) was 'Bethlehem Dinner'. First snapshot there then!
