The legendary Eve Jackson was the first person to fly a Streak Shadow (unassisted) to Australia for which she won the Seagrave Award. Late nineties she then got itchy feet again and left her engineering job at Compton Abbas airfield in Dorset and flew Gertie (her Shadow) on a shoe-string budget to Tanzania where she still resides. She wrote an entertaining account of her African journey, which included a forced landing in Somalia and an enforced stay with some 'shifter' bandits. Copies of her book 'Gertie's day out' are available from Amazon.
