Remarkable women. Remembered for Spitfires but really flew anything from Harvards to Lancasters....

This was her hundredth birthday. She is flying the one in front, and had delivered the one at the back in 1944....not bad.

I remember her interview in a programme about the Air Transport Axillary. An amazing lady.
