There are no pictures or video of how Ewald and the Pilatus jet prop got to film her on departure.

There some suggestion somewhere she had problems landing at L2K.

Whatever there is no doubt once she left the UK it was a sham.

Indeed I suspect all concerned have known from day one that it was not a genuine solo flight to Australia.

Her arrival at Goodwood two up with Ewald from the Africa trip confirms that.

Just look at this video and analyse who was flying it.

Spool back on the last part of the video and you can see she is everywhere.
Ewald in contrast is shutting down the engine while Tracey looks for her handbag?

Whatever she did not arrive back at Goodwood solo.

TCT and her sponsors have conspired to con the press and the charade continues.

A statement from Boeing,Artemis,BIAB,the HCAP,the LAA and others would be welcome.

The Daily Mail story raised questions and was lawyered.

In press terms that means the newspaper employs a retained legal company who check facts of a story before printing.

The paradox is the Daily Mail awarded Amy Johnson a cheque for £10,000 in 1931 but questioned TCT in July 2016

Look at this headline in the Daily Mail...
Amy Johnson she ain't: 'Solo' flying poster girl is brought down to earth by claims that she had co-pilot and flew just four of her 36 round-the-world legs on her own

Plus we still have the issue of HCAP Master Peter Benn suggesting that the past Master Chris Ward's letter below is not correct?
