"How was your flight?" asked the customs official
"Wonderful!" I replied. "Both pilots were women so we arrived 45 minutes early."
"Ah, girl power!" he said
As I walked towards luggage claim I mused on the book I had read during the flight, Too Close to the Sun, about Denys Finch-Hatton who was played by Robert Redford in Out of Africa. Flying was in its infancy in 1915 and it was considered to dangerous for women to fly as their hats might blow off and get entangled in the propellers... Oh have we come a long way
Watch this space.
