I seem to remember a bird with the same name and similar face gracing Wabird haunts here in NZ a few years ago. Wonder if it's the same person.
Yes 27/09, it seems "Tracey migrated to New Zealand and began flying in earnest. She
gained her private pilot’s licence, commercial licence and an instructor rating and, unusual
for a woman, was trained by military pilots to fly World War II aeroplanes with the New Zealand Warbird Association."

And yet:
"Yes, she doesn't do crosswind landings. This was a recurring (planning) issue on the Africa flight...."
And:
"Saw this lovely lady arriving at Yeovilton at last year's pre-show photo day after she reportedly had lost her way a couple of times on route from Goodwood. Can happen to anyone. Lovely Stearman too."
