Diana Patten is just the best company. Full of fascinating stories. So much so I’ve two episodes about her exciting life. She’s a pilot and even now in her late eighties she’s still flying – just last week she was up in the skies high above Rye…doing aerobatics too. A real pioneer - though she says she isn't - Diana has been responsible for generations of pilots learning to fly at Headcorn airfield in Kent
The second episode it’s all about her family, holidays in pre-war Germany and a famous school friend, but this edition is about her life as a pilot and her travels all over the world. I’ve been talking to Diana at her home near Rye.
The second part of our interview comes out next week.
