Broadcast marks milestone
It's fifty years since the introduction of the Manx passport.
The postwar era saw the Isle of Man assert a greater degree of independence from the British government.
Autonomous control of public services, taxes, policing and executive functions were secured between the 1940s and 1980s.
A BBC Television report on the then-new passports was broadcast on Tynwald Day 1968.
