Happy birthday Mary

Fond memories of her days as Aerodrome Manager at Sandown, being chastised for not doing a low approach to move the sheep prior to landing, hope I am now forgiven.

I remember doing a VDF let down into Sandown in the mid 60s Mary was operating Sandown Homer, Mid way through I became speechless due to a partial radio failure. Mary was totally un fazed and instantly switched to speechless procedure and a good cloud break ensued.
A Very Happy Birthday to one of the greats of UK aviation history
