A flying log book belonging to one of the female pilots of the Air Training Auxiliary (ATA) who became famous for ferrying planes in the Second World War has been sold at Kent saleroom C&T.
Lesley Cairns Murray (right) was killed aged 28 in a crash while flying a Hudson aircraft on April 20, 1945. The Londoner, who trained in the summer of 1942, began ferrying duties in October that year (female pilots were not allowed to fly in combat).
Her logbook was sold together with photographs of Murray and her crashed aircraft as well as research identifying her grave in Chislehurst. Offered in Tunbridge Wells on April 24 with an estimate of £800-1200, it sold to an online bidder at £2900.
