If you want to find out more about the ATA this is a great read: Diana Barnato Walker (1994) Spreading My Wings: one of Britain's top woman pilots tells her remarkable story. Sparkford: Patrick Stephens ISBN 1-85260-473-5. Her father owned Bentley.

Sad to learn via @sallyacb275 that last surviving female ATA pilot Eleanor Wadsworth has died aged 103. She joined up in 1943, flew 22 types inc Spitfire & Hurricane. Commenting on her long life she said, "It's just luck! I try not to worry about things I have no control over".

What do you do with your free Circuit Playground Express from ⁦@HackSpaceMag⁩ . Build a data logger to figure out why your boat starter cranks so slowly.
