RAF Stories - Women In Aviation – 13th May

A Talk by Jess Boyden-Juckes

Jess will share stories of ladies as aviators, long before the first woman pilot (Julie Gibson) officially received her RAF wings in 1991.

Personal stories will give insight to unknown women who made a difference and without question saved lives.

Video clips where they share snippets of their life stories including one  from South African born frontline paramedic, Jackie Moggridge, who flew with the Air Transport Auxiliary (ATA) as a pilot during the second World War flying 82 different types of war planes when the RAF wouldn’t allow female pilots!
