Geriavaitor,

I so agree. I was taught to fly by Yvonne Pope on a Tiger Moth in 1959. She went on to become the first woman civil ATCO and then the first jet captain in Britain. I remember her as a demanding but kindly instructor - demanding (quite rightly) of high standards, but kindly in her understanding of a young sprog coming to grips with new experiences. I shall always be very grateful for the way she introduced me to the wonderful world of aviation.

There are very many excellent women pilots - you only have to look at the pictures posted by megan. But what a pity about TCT.
