Jay Sata,

What I consider hilarious after reading all those sanctimonious comments from the apparently 'unbiased' editors on Wikipedia (who have, effectively, cleansed that page from any criticism), is reference number 3 at the bottom of the main entry. It provides a link to The Guardian which, unlike The Daily Mail or other 'popular tabloids' is allowed to be quoted.

It is exquisite in its irony in that the reference is supposed to reflect where TCT was born. However, the very first lines somewhat hoist them on their own petard: https://www.theguardian.com/australi...intage-biplane

A British aviator has touched down in Sydney, completing her 21,000km solo flight from England in a vintage open cockpit biplane.
Perhaps another example of not checking what's up front before claiming
a solo flight ...

It's been sitting there for two years...wonder how long it will remain now...
