Her brother was a RAF pilot and flew Lightnings. I believe that he was the one who broke the sound barrier over London when testing was being done in relation to Concorde possibly damaging properties.

RIP Diana.

Emma Peel was an icon back in the day when icon actually meant something. Rest in peace, Diana.

Spent many a happy hour drooling over Mrs. Peel when I was but a spotty kid in the 60's. :agree:

She was a talented actress and one of a kind.
