Flying Lawyer
<<The most moving event was the award of Master Air Pilot to:
Diana Barnato-Walker MBE
Lettice Curtis MA, FRAeS
Maureen de Popp.
The 700 people present rose to their feet as three little old ladies in their mid 80's walked slowly forward to receive their awards. They were members of the wartime Air Transport Auxiliary and between them had flown more than a 100 types from fighters to four-engined bombers. They received the longest standing ovation of the evening.>>
I was fortunate to meet Diana at a Lions dinner in Crawley about 5 years ago. A truly wonderful women to talk to and a signed copy of her book is a most treasured possession. God bless them.
