    Vale - Nancy Bird-Walton

    Heard on the news today that Nancy Bird-Walton has passed away today at the ripe age of 93.
    What a legend in Australia's aviation history - especially for a lady.

    We really need more women like her....

    RIP

    Mrs B

    An icon in aviation.

    Qantas named their first A380 after her.

    RIP
