• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Another Giant of British Aviation dies

Sad news indeed. A true force of nature, and a worthy representative of that wonderful group of ladies who flew with the ATA. She nursed ambitions of becoming a commercial pilot after the War, but it was not to be, a loss for both her and us.

Fly well Lettice, and keep the blue side up.
 
I recommend her book "The Forgotten Pilots". It's about the ladies of the aviation transportation auxiliary in WWII. An excellent book, still available.
RIP fair lady, blue skies and favorable winds.
Sue
