Barnstorming days...

One wheel on my aircraft...



Gladys Ingle of the 13 Black Cats team...

Must admit that I begin to get vertigo when watching this.

Parachute? What's one of those?

Indeed! Happy to report she died at the age of 82 without ever having needed a parachute.

Sadly Gladys Roy (not to be confused with Ingle) the flying tennis player (literally) was killed after being struck by a prop.

All these flying Gladioli.

Don't need facemasks as they are more than 2m apart?
