"All honour to the ATA!
I had the (unexpected) honour of being checked out (wasn't told by whom) on the mighty PA-28 Cherokee by one of those great ATA ladies at Wycombe Air Park - (17.1.74 G-AZWE). I was inside doing my checks when I became aware of a little old lady boarding, carrying a cushion for her seat so that she could see over the panel! This was Joan Hughes ex-ATA. She watched me do 4 landings and signed me off. I wish I had had the time to talk with her - but that's how it was.
