Carolyn Grace

[Brian]

While not motorcycle related a lot on here will have taken an interest in aviation.  It was sad to hear Carolyn Grace has been killed in a car accident here in Australia. She was the only female Spitfire pilot in the UK flying her late husbands Spitfire, ML407. No doubt some of the UK members will be more familiar with her and her plane.

Thanks Brian, an interesting person and her death has been well covered in the UK press as you'd expect.
Rotten way to go. Her late husband also died in a road accident a good few years back.
Very sad news indeed.
