Those magnificent Women in their flying machines



The lady is my Great-Grandmother Jobling, standing behind Mr George (in the fetching Beret), it is 1910 and they are on Gosforth racecourse testing the George and Jobling Biplane. She was the third or fourth woman in the world to fly.

The car is the Golden Ford as raced by Mr George, my Great-grandfather's business partner, at Brooklands in 1912.
