At the office in Iran Air: 1965 and with a colleague who became my husband later!

With some colleagues.

 The photos below were taken after the first group of Iran Air hostesses were trained by the two of us who were ourselves trained by the Americans and took over their jobs as they left. In the 1960s Iran Air became a public airline headed by General Khademi who spent his life to promote it to the highest standard where Iran Air ranked top of airline in the world!
Americans from mainly Pan Am were employed to establish vaious departments, run it for a while, train Iranians to replace them and supervise them to make sure they know the business. A large number of US trained technicians, engineers and pilots then made Iran Air as it was.
As Flight instructors I was given training in Iran by a woman, called Lee Trojillo, then sent to the US and later to Beirut at the Middle East Airlines (MEA) to recieve further training.

After two years in the training I was appointed as head of flight service which oversaw the performance of Iran Air flight crew and confirmed the highest standard of service given to the passengers. My boss was an American: Tom Temple who gave me a free hand to improve the department. I oftern travelled as additional crew to inspect and guide. In the space of two years on the job I made sure the service was promoted and for that travelling on flights to various routes was a normal prctice. 

This photo was taken of me at Heathrow Airport in August 1968. A few months later I resigned from Iran Air over an incident which got out of hand and left a job which the airline had paid lots to train me and I loved very much. 

While Head of Flight Service I often attended seminars and conferences abroad. These photos below were taken at a week conference in Paris.

This photo below was taken at Tehran Officers' Club: General ghademi, his wife and a number of ailine cabin crew were there. I am in the floral dress beside the general. As is seen the uniforms hair style and makeup are all in the highest standard of the day.

One of our flight attendants was about to get married to an American. She invited me to her house in February 68 along with some other women.

At the wedding of her in the American Officer's Club in Tehran; April 1969. We are greeted by the bride and groom. I wore this light blue dress with golden rims which I had bought in Selfridges in London pn one of my many trips.
