Mary Ellis blazed a trail for female aviators, as one of the first women to fly Spitfires, heavy bombers and jet aircraft.

She was a member of the Air Transport Auxiliary (ATA), which employed civilians to deliver planes from factories to airfields during the Second World War.
Amazing lady, what a life she led !
One of the ladies who delivered RAF planes in the war, Naomi.

I can't get any bbc links now - perhaps their site is down/overloaded

Thanks Naomi.
I watched an interview with her a few weeks ago. She said when she landed the planes on delivery, the chaps on the ground were astonished to see a woman climb out of the cockpit.
One time she delivered a Lancaster, and the ground crew didn't believe her.

They sent someone in to search for the pilot

The BBC link appears to have been repaired.
remarkable lady..RIP
Incredible woman who learned how to fly when she was a schoolgirl (she didn't like hockey!).

She described the Spitfire as the symbol of freedom.

No sadness she just changed her wings
RIP fantastic lady
