People were starting to take some pics...the pilot was just standing there.
Then off comes the helmet, and all this blond hair falls out.
The looks on people's faces was classic.
"OMG!!...It's a girl flying that thing!"

Then there was the day in Stansted England with pea soup fog right down to the
deck. Then we heard a pair of R-2800's overhead. No one believed that it
could make it down safely. It did. Out climbed a a WAAF ferry pilot. She did
something we never thought she could do. Very impressive. She was delivering a
new Marauder. But to these gals this was SOP and was repeated many times in the
months to come..But she learned to fly long before the war began and had more
hours than most of our pilots.
