I and my daughter have had the pleasure of meeting Mary Ellis, who featured in the programme. We met her at Sandown where she used to run the Pleasure Flights, I understand she also used to run the field.

Someone suggested we should ask her what was her favourite aeroplane. The reply? "Well the Spitfire is very nice, but I think I preferred flying the Wellington."

She's an elegant and delightful lady.
