[It seems she was going to the United States to school. Since her mother died in the air raids 2 months later, this may have saved her life.] [The book Laughter in the Air by Georgina Morgan (nee Symondson) indicates she had been sent to Canada.]
After the WWII she drowned on her first flight over the Channel as an air hostess. [From Laughter in the Air by Georgina Morgan (nee Symondson).]
