Tornado Fighter Pilot - Mandy Hickson

Mandy Hickson began flying at just 14 years and went on to become only the second female ever to fly the Tornado GR4 operationally. Mandy fought hard to achieve her ambition to be a Royal Air Force pilot, entering a world that was almost exclusively built for and run by men. She went on to complete three tours of duty and 45 missions over Iraq. In this episode, she talks us through her journey and the challenges she faced both in and out of the cockpit. Hope you enjoy the episode.
