With Tracey Curtis Taylor now exposed as not having flown alone in an biplane to Australia what about Amanda Harrison? The original Race to Darwin must still be on?
My name is Amanda J Harrison and I plan to fly solo from England to Darwin, come along and live my dream . . . For years I have dreamt and planned to retrace the route that Amy Johnson flew solo in 1930.
It was the first time a female pilot flew from London to Darwin SOLO, and it hasn’t been done since in a Moth aeroplane.

Now for some facts instead of the TCT smoke and mirror 'Aviatrix' illusions.
Amanda has this for her wiki page.
Winner of 75th Schneider Trophy Woman’s Race
4 x UK Distance over Speed Record Holder
3th and 4th in Dawn to Dusk Competition
Only UK female Commercial Tiger Moth pilot
Plus a genuine CV.
Always wanting to fly, Amanda left school at the age of 15 with no useful qualifications, with one teacher saying all she would be good for is stacking shelves in a supermarket. So after working hard to obtain her Commercial Pilots License and follow one of her dreams she now fly’s Tiger Moths for a living.
