Flt Lt Neil Cox RIP

“Flight Lieutenant Neill Cox, who has died aged 88, won two DFCs for flying operations in the Mediterranean; he was also noted in the Service for once taking off in his Spitfire completely unaware that a WAAF mechanic was clinging on to the tailplane.”

The well known story of WAAF Margaret Horton who flew an unexpected circuit hanging onto the tailplane of AB910 for dear life.
