I joined LFC in early1960,and after a couple of famil flights with Dave Campbell(CFI),i was `passed to Elizabeth to continue training,apart from `check `rides.A little daunting at first,especially the `Auster` smell of oil,fuel,old leather,and Chanel 5,or was it `Rive Gauche` in the other seat...!at the age of 17...as Haraka says,quite a striking lady,and could be rather `feisty`,but always helpful ...She also checked me out on the Chipmunk before my PPL Test in July `61....
Many years later,possibly about`85,I was surprised to receive an invitation to `dinner` with the `99s` at the RAF Club,which I attended.She had taken the trouble to track me down at Northolt on -125s.That was the last time I met her,and was very sad to read of her passing a few years ago......A memorable lady,for all the right reasons.....

ps.can`t remember the name of her `yappy` little dog...
