I have only just found this thread after a google search confirmed my worst fears, I had spoken to Liz a couple of months ago and she had told me of her illness, I had since only been able to get her voicemail and my concern had grown.
Liz was my examiner back in 2005 at Humberside and we stayed in touch regularly afterwards, I flew with her a few times post test to build up some advanced skills and she was a fantastic instructor and pilot in her own right.
We also shared a couple of long car journey's to Humberside from Oxford when she was working for soloflight, I lived close to Humberside Airport and if I happened to be going past Oxford on my way up from business trips and she needed to get to Humberside I would pick her up en-route, on those journey's she kept me entertained with many aviation stories.
Liz devoted her life to flying and to helping others to fly, she was a smashing lady and I will really miss her.
