Hi

Does anyone have or knows of where to get any info about Women test pilots from Northern ireland. My aunt was a test pilot and she died leaving little to no information about what she done. I know that it was spitfires and she was from Armagh. Any help would be great.

thanks Guys :ok:

Can't say I've ever heard of a female test pilot on Spits, though it be great if she was; seems more likely she was a member of the Air Transport Auxillery, delivering Spitfires and other types from the factories to squadrons or MUs.
