What’s with the “World’s only female Spitfire pilot” story?

You must realise Robbo that the paper is the Ipswich Evening Star. The known world only extends for about a 20 mile radius of their office.

Frightening. Doesn’t even look fit for firewood.

Thanks for these pics. The Ambassador was one of the most elegant aircraft ever.

Very sad

AW built many Meteor F8s and all the NF series. We dumped quite a number into the North Sea, one way or another.:rolleyes:

I think I have mentioned this before. But when one of the men who worked in our road surfacing dept retired I took him home after his friends had treated him to lunch (liquid) in the nearest pub. He was a very retiring type who only spoke when spoken to, but I asked him what he had done when he was in the services.

He replied that his war only lasted 5 days, and the only weapon he used was his knife.:cool::eek:

That was in the Pegasus bridges action.

Yes. Bad news

Super pics. Brings it all back.
By the way the best Meatbox was the NF14 with that super hood. A real gentlemans carriage.
