Eighty years later, Walker is the only woman in the world who still flies them. Her own research into the ATA suggests the last woman to fly a Hurricane was a South African ATA pilot who delivered Hurricanes for scrapping on her way back home after the end of World War Two. “It was quicker than waiting for a steamship to take her back home,” Walker says. “So, I think that makes me the first woman to fly one since the last of those ferry pilots.”
