Diana Britten found her calling by chance when she was offered a trial flying lesson and she fell in love with the stomach churning sport of aerobatics. She’s the first woman to claim the title of British Aerobatics Champion but it wasn’t always a smooth ride on her way to the top. Now in her 70s, Diana is still performing aerobatics and she’s recently been awarded an MBE. Presented by Jo Fidgen. Picture: Diana Britten and her plane Credit: Courtesy of Diana Britten
