And in reverse, in 1933 Lores Bonney flew her Gypsy Moth
'My Little Ship' from Sydney to Croydon, England.
Lores also set a few other firsts, including around Australia and:
"Piloting a Klemm Eagle, on 9 April 1937 Bonney took off from Brisbane and travelled via Indian Ocean littoral countries to Cairo and thence to Cape Town, arriving on 18 August. She was the first person to fly from Australia to South Africa. The formidable journey of 15,700 nautical miles (29,000 km) was her most heroic aerial feat. In 1949 she ceased flying because her eyesight no longer met the required standard.
I was very fortunate to meet Lores in 1987. Charming, wonderful woman!
