His daughter served as an ambulance driver during the Great War, serving with the First Aid Nursing Yeomanry Corps. A pioneer aviatrix; in 1927 she was only the second woman to gain a ‘B’ (commercial) Licence. Supposedly her parents were against her taking flying lessons, and the first they heard about it was when they saw a newspaper report. In 1928 she lost a leg when she crashed onto a golf course in Mill Hill but nothing daunted, she continued to fly with an artificial limb, stating ‘It was worth it. One has to take risks for anything that is worth while.’ With Lady Heath she set a British altitude record of 13,400 feet in 1928.
