The Light Aviation Association Bill Woodham Award,which she wishes to recover,is for navigation.

Whoever flew the aircraft, trying to prove she did the nav is a different kettle of fish.

As I recall she had issues on the Africa trip where she penetrated restricted airspace.This was the journey for which the award was made.

Sam Rutherford has told me on a number of occasions Tracey had problems with navigation hence issues in making the Africa movie.Ewald had to be up front after the first few hops in South Africa.

To try and claim a navigation award for such a trip is a bold move.

The landing at Goodwood at the end of that trip was in pretty dismal weather but clearly two up.

Just like Sydney Ewald was not seen after landing.
Much as I would like Tracey to prove me wrong there is no evidence out there to illustrate any cross country solo flights she has ever made.
