I think there is another photo of her, in 'profile': she looks even prettier in that one. God only knows how the RAF reacted when she turned up...

With gentlemanly respect and much twirling of moustaches, one imagines

When I recently took a flip in a Tiger Moth my instructor was a woman. I was awed by her flight record of over 30,000 hours (6,000 on multi-jet passenger aircraft alone) and her history as an instructor and competitor in aerobatics. To cap it all, she rode the same motorcycle as I do, a BMW K100RS. Her love of flying was very obvious.

Could I have fallen in love with this bold adventuress? Yes - easily. Fortunately I already have a woman who I love, so there was no need to embarrass my new-found friend by declaring my undying love! I probably saved myself from being told that a Tiger Moth made a far better companion than an ageing biker.
