She was born in London and brought up between 39 Berkeley Square and Camfield Place, the childhood home of Beatrix Potter.

During World War II she was initially attached to the Military Transport Corps as a driver for Polish officers. Jock Colville asked her: "What it's like?" to which she responded, "well, I have to say 'Yes, Sir' all day, and 'No, Sir' all night". She later transferred to the W.A.A.F. where she was "engaged on special duties" and cemented her reputation as an aviatrix.
