Her family moved to Ireland, where she spent her childhood running free with the local hunt and obtaining little formal education.

[1] When she was sixteen her family moved back to England, and at Bedford High School for Girls she realised her lack of qualifications.

[2] Gore rose to head the Hamble ATA ferry pool in 1941[4] with Rosemary Rees as her second in command.

She was now a flight captain with all female recruits, delivering aircraft as they were manufactured to operational units around the country.
