Hi Mr moto Denmark you are correct I once accompanied her in CESSNA 150 to Stauning from Ipswich to return some trophys that she had won the previous year.The postal system just wasnt going to be good enough.So Ipswich at 5.30am after an early sart from Chesterfield,Stauning by 1530 back as far as Texel by 2045 and still she was willing to carry on.But I was Knacked,That was when she was 73.Dont make them like that now BYE FOR NOW
