Yes excellent interview with Yvonne Pope Sintes who spoke with great nostalgia and pleasure about her life in aviation.

Correct me if I am wrong but I believe that (the late) Elizabeth Overbury was the first female pilot of a British commercial jet. She became a First Officer on Autair's BAC 111s in 1968.

I think that Yvonne has the distinction of being the first female Captain of a British commercial jet.
