Aunty Joan would have walked it. I recall the ADOC in the old Bomber Command bunker at High Wycombe during an exercise. The place was stuffed full of keen Wg Cdrs etc and, as a young (ish) Flt Lt on a round tour, I had the opportunity of seeing Aunty Joan dominate the place. Watching the air defence war being sorted through clouds of cigarette smoke and in-your-face discussions was marvellous.
A very capable woman and an unfulfilled talent.
RIP.
