In this episode I start work as a second officer at Bristow Helicopters in Lagos on the DHC-6 Twin Otter, twin engine turboprop. I realise pretty quickly that having a woman up front at the sharp pointy end is a novel idea to most people at that time, and I develop a strategy to deal with the distrust and suspicion of having a woman pilot in a position of authority at 7000ft and above.
