I have been wondering for some time whether the original plans for Amanda to start her trip to Sydney at the same time as TCT were scuppered by the much higher profile plans of the latter. I wonder if Amanda found it much more difficult to raise sponsorship because of TCT and therefore had to postpone her trip. I have absolutely no evidence for this but it would make sense.
In this light, I wonder if all of those who are disgusted with TCT would contribute towards Amanda's trip and raise her profile as a genuine attempt to emulate Amy Johnson as closely as one can in modern times, and really show up TCT for the fraud she is.
I should add that I have no connection with Amanda, I have met her a couple of times but she wouldn't know me from Adam. For all I know Amanda might be horrified at the idea but, as it has been going round my warped mind for some weeks, I thought I should mention it.
