Met JH once at White Waltham just after I had finished my Flying Scholarship at Sywell. Bunch of youngsters (still on FS about a month behind me I guess!!) saw diminutive lady walk through clubhouse. Young cadet says something along the line of "bet she is not a pilot". Loud hrrmph from senior club member who stalks through to office returns with book like family bible, puts is on table, hrrmphs again and leaves, saying "her logbook". Young cadet gingerly opens log book to see record of solo flights in everything from Spifires to Halifaxes. Bunch of embarrassed young cadets find their presence is required elsewhere. Diminutive woman was, of course Joan Hughes.
