Oh dear. There really was a time to have left it all alone to die a quiet death. And I really though that she had, for her own good.

But possibly being short of cash, or simply sheer greed, or even feeling starved of the oxygen of publicity can have odd and regrettable effects on people of a certain publicity-hungry disposition.

She worked with the Fighter Collection at Duxford, helping to organise the Flying Legends Air Show and basing her 1941 Ryan Recruit aircraft with the Shuttleworth Collection, in Beds, for eight years, during which she regularly took part in the summer flying displays.
I thought that particular detail had been thoroughly debunked as total garbage and fanciful mis-association a long time ago. Can anyone confirm or refute the claim to have "taken part in flying displays … with the Shuttleworth collection"?

Even the basic concept of this being a ghost-written book is comical. Given that she failed at taxying, crashed in the desert, didn't fly solo as claimed etc, etc, are we now to understand that she can't even write a book either?
