How wonderful to see life in Somerset East Again!!

Molly Cohen earned her "wings" Pilot's Licence in Somerset East in 1950 and at which time she was the youngest woman to do so.
Sadly, my mother, Molly did not live to see the day that the Aerodrome became an Airport as she died last year on 8 October 2012.
I still have her "wings" and all her Pilot study manuals and lessons which were recorded from all those years back.
