A few posts back I questioned her links with Portsmouth.

I missed this.

Off to Portsmouth today. I never went to university and it’s always been a slight source of regret for me, so to receive this degree from University of Portsmouth is a tremendous honour, especially as I have a strong connection to Portsmouth as I am also an Honorary Officer with the Royal Navy ‪#‎aviation‬
So that explains her " strong connection" with Portsmouth.

It will be interesting to see how she arranges all these awards to fit her double barrelled name.

No mention of an ex spouse on her wiki bio despite using his surname.

Perhaps I should add it?

There is also the misleading statement "undertakes global flights in vintage aircraft."

Some sound advice from respected UK aviator Bob Crowe on her Facebook comments.

Bob Crowe
Definition: Solo - a flight in which the aircraft pilot is unaccompanied. End of.

Yes when we fly solo we have the backup of a team that can range from the engineer who prepared the aircraft to the latest electronic aids on board but solo means nobody else on board the aircraft and specifically not one who has access to the flight controls.

Well done Tracey but stop milking the public, take more care when taxying and pay attention to WAT limitations.
