My first flight was a Cessna (possibly either a 182 or 206) on floats off a lake in Norway in 1969 to look at the glaciers and ice cap, the only problem was that I was terrified, aged 11 and ended up not making the flight that pleasant for the others. Since then I have got a pilots licence, so have overcome that fear.
My father first flew in Alan Cobham’s Air Ferry at Blue Barns field on the Ipswich Road north of Colchester in 1933/4, he remembers seeing the Birdman, amongst other things, and my mother in a Rapide at Heathrow in 1952.
Has anyone got a photo of the Rapide at Heathrow, not sure how many were operated from there and she tells me the pilot was a woman?
