Lieutenant Colonel Penny Kitson, Major Hannah Mathers, and Major Charlotte Joyce will be sharing their experiences in conversation with Paul Beaver at the Army Flying Museum at 7pm on Monday 18th October.
Lt Col Kitson was the first Army Air Corps (AAC) female to become a qualified helicopter instructor in the Army, and the first female to command a regular squadron. Major Mathers joined the AAC as an Airtrooper in 2002, before applying for, and joining, RMA Sandhurst and commissioning as an AAC officer in 2007. Since qualifying on the Gazelle she has served in Northern Ireland, Canada and spent two years as a jungle aviator in Brunei. Major Charlotte Joyce was named the Institute of Engineering and Technology Young Woman Engineer of the Year for her work supplying airworthy battle winning helicopters on worldwide operations and leading soldiers in dangerous and challenging environments including Afghanistan and Libya.
