‘Island Air Services’ first pilot was former wartime ATA flyer, Monique Agazarian, who later bought the company after it had decamped to Croydon. Some older readers may have been fortunate enough to enjoy a ‘spin’ in an IAS Rapide, a regular sight at Heathrow, flying incessant summer sightseeing trips over London in those leisurely 1950s days before the coming of ‘jetwash’. ‘Aggie’, as she affectionately became known, continued in light aviation, latterly with Aviation Training Services of Booker, until her death in 1992 at the age of 72.’
