The Moment That Made Me | Mandy Hickson

When the RAF opened fighter pilot roles to women Mandy Hickson was one of the first in line.

The powers that be told her she was a test-case, and a key flying exam threatened to prove their prediction of failure correct.

But a moment of inspired teamwork, cycling with her fellow student pilots, transformed her struggles into a pass with flying colours.

Mandy tells Kate Gerbeau how that moment made her a pioneer for women in the RAF, and how it shaped her understanding of how teams really do work.
