Serviette
Serviette, supplied by PAA for its passengers.
Serviette, large, white with PAA and logo in each corner on obverse, clean. Signs of some mould on reverse. Identified by the donor as a serviette, its large size suggest if may be a tablecloth.
On 16th September 1945 the first transatlantic proving flight, a Pan-Am DC4, landed at Shannon from New York.
This serviette was collected by Joe Hardaker who was a refueller at Shannon Airport from the opening of the airport until 1968. He had previously worked at Foynes sea-plane base where he learned the technical skills of refuelling.
