LOOK, LISTEN AND TAKE HEED:
"Look at this aeroplane. A beauty, isn't it? It's got 20 years happy flying ahead of it"
"Or has it. Here comes a woman. Which seat is she getting in? The driver's seat - oh dear, the wrong seat"
"Gosh, what a lovely comfy seat"
"Yes, but this isn't a drawing room my dear. It's a complicated flying machine - a machine far too complicated for you to understand"
"But I know about embroidery and kittens. Won't that suffice? Oh blow it, I'm going to have a try......"
CRUNCH
"See, now look what you've done. Your pretty little mind simply can't cope with an aeroplane.....
WOMEN, FOR PITY'S SAKE DON'T FLY!!"
(With apologies to Harry Enfield - and to any of the many excellent lady aviators who thought I might have been serious!)
