This thread has caused me a bit of head scratching (not good, 'cos it removes some of the limited remaining hair)
I had expected to find some mention of a Jet Ranger piloted by a female member of the Ferranti family. Reason being that, sometime between '68 and '71, the, then annual, helicopter Garden Party/Fly In was held at RAF Tern Hill. Of the two memories of the day, one was dropping our smoke grenade UPWIND of the VIP guest enclosure, the other was the arrival of said Jet Ranger and being goggle-eyed at the tall, blonde lime-green trouser suited lady pilot!! Limited memory cells tell me that she was of the Ferranti clan - Yes??? or senile confusion???
