Olga and her brother Ray ran the Three Tuns pub in Kings Sutton and I would got there for a pint or two on some nights. I had heard during visits that Olga used to ride motorcycles, but I wasn't aware of the extent of her involvement until later on.
An article from the Kings Sutton Times gave a short history of her life and experiences. Here's a copy of the article in it's entirety
The Classsic Motorcycle also did a two part story a few years back about Olga's exploits on two and four wheels.
Olga was one of Britians few pioneering women motorcyclists and her or her legacy won't be forgotten.
RIP Olga
