Author Information

Patsy Leigh was an Air Hostess for Liverpool's Starways airline from 1960 to 1964. Patricia Collins, as she was then, was born in 1934 in Wormley, Hertfordshire, and grew up during the Second World War. Her father died in 1943 and her mother, aged 27, was left with four children and a rented house which they had to leave. Patsy attended eleven schools from five years old until one month before her 14th birthday, after which her mother needed her to work. Patsy worked in Garners, a London restaurant, for almost seven years, before training with Revlon as a manicurist and beautician, working at hairdresser Henry da Costa's salon, Number 9, New Bond Street, and next door to a very young and broke Vidal Sassoon. After that she moved to Norton's in Duke Street, St James, where her clients included actors Sir Alec Guinness, Trevor Howard and Leo Genn. It was in part due to Patsy's brother-in-law Laird Kennedy, himself a pilot, that she first took to the skies. Patsy now lives in West Sussex.
