Great RT! It was lucky the controller sussed the problem of icing, checked with other aircraft the icing levels ahead and recommended she descended to 3000 feet or the same problem would have occurred further on as she rigidly stuck to 6500 feet

The pilot seemed unaware of icing!!! plucky lady regardless. I think she would have been better landing at the nearby airport having a hot cup of tea and composing herself before pressing on!

Also stresses the point in a non ice capable aircraft of making sure you can descend to warmer air above MSA or in her case she would have gone all the way down
