In this print from FlightGlobal, we are transported back to the 1960s when fashion met functionality in the form of clip-on ties for Women's Royal Air Force (WRAF) personnel. The image showcases Senior Aircraftswoman Mary Owens, a trailblazer hailing from Iona Street, as she expertly demonstrates how to fasten the new WRAF tie onto the stylish open neck summer blouse. The photograph captures an era of change and progress, where women were breaking barriers and making their mark in traditionally male-dominated fields. Mary Owens stands tall with confidence, embodying the spirit of empowerment that defined this transformative period. Published on July 7th, 1960, this image serves as a testament to both fashion innovation and gender equality within military institutions. It symbolizes the adaptability of uniforms to suit changing times while ensuring practicality for female servicewomen. While not mentioning any commercial use or specific company associated with these clip-on ties, this print offers a glimpse into history—a moment frozen in time—where style meets professionalism. It reminds us that even seemingly small details like accessories can have significant meaning and impact on individuals' lives. As we reflect upon this remarkable snapshot from FlightGlobal's archives, let us celebrate those who paved the way for future generations by embracing change and challenging societal norms.
