Died in December aged 103. I think there are only two of these ladies surviving now. although they didn’t go into combat they ensured that the pilots who did would have their planes where they wanted them. They often flew without radios, instructions, or a crew. A quiet hero in my book. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-norfolk-55601962
I remember a TV feature I think it was - agree, an under-sung hero/heroine (delete whichever is the un-PC one, I lose track!).
We have a memorial where the entrance to Hamble Airfield used to be, to the Womens Auxiliary Air Force. A stainless steel Spitfire sculpture above a plaque on a plinth beside Hamble Lane.
I read a book about the lady pilots of ww2. They were very brave, they had no gun training or allowed to use them. They had some difficult times. RIP https://www.worldofbooks.com/en-gb/...DaKVdnAopi0lgAkAcG-v6DCHHfZ_ahkBoCe8kQAvD_BwE
They were magnificent ladies - takes some bottle to fly a plane let alone a combat plane that you have never flown before
