The natural world –
in addition to her early year adventures, Tracey and BIAB are now engaged on flying around the world between 2013 and 2016, providing a rare appreciation of the natural world from the air, at low level. Support for conservation of the environment is embraced by Tracey and BIAB and,reflecting the first completed stage of this global journey, Tracey works with Tusk Trust, the UK charity focused on wildlife conservation, communities and education in Africa."
Flying "Around the World" ? ...' a rare appreciation of the natural world from the air at low level' and 'support for the conservation of the environment' !!

How on earth can an expensive jaunt by a wealthy aircraft restorer and a middle aged woman in an avgas guzzling Stearman be deemed helping the planet?

A microlight I could accept but not an airframe that burns more energy in an hour than the average third world person uses in a year.
