Not the full thing, but a significant relic, just donated to the Manx Aviation & Military Museum at Ronaldsway, from a local Isle of Man resident.  G-AMOH, Manx Avn Museum, 13 Oct 19 w by Philip Pain, on Flickr And it is full of Cambrian goodies! |

Oscar Hotel put some miles (or hours!) in service during it's time with Cambrian and certainly spent a fair bit of time on the IOM. So what are the goodies inside?

The owner of the flight bag obviously collected bits and pieces as they came to hand, including timetables, cloth badges, souvenir booklets, publicity material, and there are various original b&w photos of staff and a Dakota and Gemini, dating from the 1950s. Historically the most interesting is a 'staff ledger', a hand written admin book from the 1960s, recording names, addresses, start/leave dates, etc and all of them were Isle of Man residents. G-AMOH didn't join Cambrian Airways until October 1965, and it was eventually scrapped at Cardiff, so how the flight bag came to be rescued in the IOM is a mystery.
