She remarried in 1966, took the name Yvonne Burney, and moved to Portugal and then in 1999 returned to London. She no longer wanted to talk about her experiences in the war, but gave a brief interview to Sarah Helm for her biography of Vera Atkins. She also appeared in a French documentary ("Robert et les Ombres", director : Jean marie Barrère) in which she met, again but 60 years after the events, two of the resistance fighters who were in the field when she was dropped.
