In those very early days when the Scottish Flying Club was becoming established, it was reliant on the support of its members to ensure it was on sound financial footing.

This included Hendry, who along with her parents hosted various fund-raising events at her home, Crosslees House, Thornliebank, Renfrewshire to help raise funds for the club.

[2] Hendry was based at Renfrew Aerodrome and trained under the supervision of First World War hero Captain John Houston MC, chief instructor of the Scottish Flying Club.

Weather conditions have been a peculiar mixture of blue skies, gales and minor snowstorms, yet, withal, our total flying time for the week is quite satisfactory.

[8] Hendry’s experience was with open cockpit flying which differed markedly from today's commercial flights, with navigation done largely through the recognition of local landmarks.
