Airline meals

Before the days of pre-packed airline meals, food for international passengers was prepared on board by a steward. A TEAL steward is shown at work in the galley of a Solent flying boat, about 1951. TEAL took great pride in providing fresh food, which was served on fine china with silver cutlery.
