Whatever happened to Caroline Frost and Lesley Hardy?

Dare I say two British commercial 'birds' on the flight deck 38 years before the term aviatrix was resurrected from the 1930's
In October 1977 ,under the command of Captain Caroline Frost and First Officer Lesley Hardy, British Air Ferries (BAF) operated its inaugural scheduled passenger flight from Southend to Dusseldorf. With this flight, BAF became the first British airliner to fly with an all-female crew.
