I had the honour to meet this lady 29 years ago.

I met her in Highgate around 1977 as we lived a few doors from the Russian embassy there. She was walking down to the shops with a couple of minders! I well remember her and what a historic flight.

A very good program about her on Radio 4 last Saturday ironically it's just dropped off IPlayer after a week but may be available somewhere else on www
