Fascinating stuff! Malcolm Brownlie sent me a link to the website.
PPL aged 18, CPL aged 19 and ALTP at 21
1968 Deputy CFI at Thurston Aviation
Joined Skyways in 1970 on the HS 748
1972 Dan Air took over Skyways and joined Comet fleet
Converted to B727 in 1974
The reference to BEA was probably me - no medical involved! In 1969, with ALTP obtained, simply applied to BEA who responded with 'it's not our policy to employ women pilots'. Friend Norman Tebbit cheekily used this letter in maiden speech to launch as an MP!
Following the demise of Dan Air, and the ensuing legal battle, became founding director of start-up airline, Europe Elite in 1995, flying B757s to Kazakstan & Uzbekistan from Heathrow. Several ex Dan Air staff were involved but, sadly, the full funding never materialised.
1997 became involved in politics. Stood in '01, '05 & 2010 as a candidate for UKIP
Hope this helps,
