Only ever saw one recorded interview with Hanna in the 1977 BBc Series The Secret War...her interview there is well worth seeing and listening to.....she describes her flight in early ttests of the Me323 one of which went very wrong when the triple tow 110's got into bother and the 323 crashed after barely becoming airborne.
Hanna also described her flight in the Komet , the way she describes and the emotion and love of flying is evident throughout her interview.
A very remarkable and unique lady.
