Last week I discovered that this flyer had written two books out of print now. OH has always admired this lady, she learned to fly at an aerodrome he served his apprenticeship at and followed her career.

At great expense (60p each and £2.99 each postage) I purchased these. One arrived yesterday and the other today - he is thrilled but even more so when he noticed on the second book that Sheila had signed it.

Does not take a lot to keep a man happy. :-D

That's lovely Chris.
I'm sure he'll enjoy reading them.

Great value.

Not expensive is it when compared with a glossy magazine, which would soon be discarded.

He also remembers the bottle of champagne she bought him on his Stag Night.

Actually I got a better bargain as I googled and they are selling this autographed book for £35 up - not that he would part with it. ;-)

He is thrilled to have the books - he has fond memories of the lady and admired her bravery and fearlessness.
