Not included on the list of Famous Air Crash Victims (she walked away uninjured)
is Beryl Markham.

Her story is documented in her beautifully written memoir "West With the Night" pub. in 1942 - "...she has written so well, and marvelously well, that I was completely ashamed of myself as a writer. " - Ernest Hemingway

Thank you for that!

The lists I researched at the time didn’t include those who walked away, so I’ll see if I can revise it some time to mention Beryl.

That means I’ll probably have to include Nigel Farage on the politicians entry smiley - erm
