Jean Batten, Beryl Markham, Amelia Earhardt, Amy Johnson......just a few innovators of the past century! I must admit I actually prefer flying in NZ & have found the vintage scene particularly welcoming & Kermie, you certainly do have a point. No offence to any blokes reading this but only in the UK have I been asked by the male members of our species, " So is it the 'planes or the pilots that you're really interested in then?" Enuff said!!
As for accents......I think someone has said the same about lady showjumpers in the past....bottom line....who really cares anyway? We get out there, do the job safely, share a passion....can't see why what we sound like should come into it!
Chocs away chaps!
