The RAF began recruiting female pilots in 1989. RAF engineering officer Julie Ann Gibson sent in her application on the very first day it became possible and, in 1991, was the first female regular officer to graduate as an RAF pilot. She specialised in flying multi-engine aircraft and became a Captain on Lockheed Hercules aircraft, based at RAF Lyneham in Wiltshire. She delivered personnel and equipment to locations around the world.
