Nottingham-born second world war pilot operated out of White Waltham in Berkshire
A trailblazing pilot who was one of the last surviving women to take on the task of transporting aircraft to the frontline of the second world war has died at the age of 103.
Nottingham-born Eleanor Wadsworth, who served as one of the RAF’s “Spitfire women” during the conflict, died in December in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk after a short illness and was one of the estimated 165 women who flew without instrument flying instructions or radios.
