The new uniform was a complete change, abandoning the naval style and colour, but retaining the white 'summer' uniform colour in new materials, and a new stylish cap with the 'kangaroo' badge instead of the TAA identification patch. This uniform became standard and appeared on all aircraft.
Graduating Groups in winter and summer uniforms, and now seen in the 'outback' of Australia.
1969 - another year of change in the sky -
No new aeroplanes but a need to identify the changing times and fashions, and TAA was again creating an Australian first in airline fashion.
Once a uniform was uniform, but now a uniform was a choice of recognisable colourful styles of the latest fashion trends - mini skirts, pants suits, multi-colours, stylish boots, and fashion shoes.
1972 - Enter the new Boeing 727-276, a 150 seater, larger and more sophisticated, it was time for a change to reflect s new image, and in the main a return to a single uniform, distinctive, smart and functional.
