Bahamasair inFlight Magazine - 'The Independence Collectors Edition' Jul-Sep 2023

As The Bahamas celebrates its 50th birthday, Up and Away magazine will pay special homage to the beauty of an independent Bahamas and explore the base which ties back to its history. In this issue, we will: feature sailing – our national sport; read about the parallels of a pre-independent and an independent Bahamas from four generations of Bahamians; take a walk on Mount Fitzwilliam where you will find Government House; learn how the role of Mount Fitzwilliam compares between two eras; see a different angle of Bahamian culture through the introduction of a wood carver, a straw craft connoisseur and a ceramic artist; and bite into Bahamian cuisine so delicious that you will ditch your diet in a heartbeat just to indulge in the flavours and “shake a leg” to the sounds of Bahamian singers.
