We might think it is a comedy Danny but Boeing aircraft have fallen for her hype.

She even conned the BBC TV Newsround programme which is aimed at children.

A British adventurer has completed an epic 14,600-nautical mile flight from the UK to Australia in a 73-year-old plane.
Tracey Curtis-Taylor set off in her 1942 Boeing Stearman aircraft called 'Spirit of Artemis' from Farnborough, England, in October.
She was retracing the route of Amy Johnson, who in 1930 became the first woman to fly solo from Britain to Australia, flying over 23 countries and making some 50 refuelling stops.

While the well paid journalists in the BBC HQ in London were writing the next cut and past story from the internet they were missing the cuckoo in the nest.

Little kids everywhere must have been asking 'who is that man in the front seat of the lady's epic solo flight mummy and why is he hiding? '
