Whatever the outcome of the vote one thing that cannot be undone is the effect this all had on another pilot's planned solo flight. Anyone remember Amanda Harrison?
She was trying to raise funds for a solo flight, UK to Australia, when the media started to report TCT's 'solo' flight which effectively killed Amanda's flight off. After all, nobody was going to sponsor her when it had just been done by someone else.
So much for being all about helping women in aviation.
