I had a female flight instructor too. I thought she was OK but some of her contemporaries elsewhere in the RAF didn't have many good things to say about her. Mostly bovine related

C4 ran a documentary on the making of the 777 which covered this first flight and some elderly American chap checked in and was told something like "Congratulations sir, you are on the inaugural 777 flight".
He turned away, completely unaware of the historic occasion he was part of and muttered to the camera something like, "Wow, I'm on an all girl flight, just hope they know how to fly the goddam thing"
^ I'm praying that is on Youtube!
