"The mechanics were given the order, ‘Tails’. Having got to the runway, the aircraft would pause for the mechanic to drop off. This time the pilot did not pause. Whether he was unaware that the order to ‘tail’ had been given, nobody knows. He just carried on with Margaret Horton hanging on for grim death, and him unaware that he had a ‘passenger’ on the tail. ‘I thought the aircraft was tail-heavy’, he said later."
Haha, that's brilliant!

 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...

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. B
