Having read through the comments on here, and also read some of the articles in aviation magazines about her exploits it strikes me that what she has done is similar to a competent tennis player being acclaimed as a Wimbledon singles champion whilst having had a partner helping on court in all matches.
Obviously so many people watching Wimbledon makes that impossible, but because you generally only have invited guests to witness departures from airfields for such events as TC-Ts flights it is easier to pass an untruth off as fact.
Did the co-pilot bend down to be out of sight for any photos on departure? That is an act that makes them an accessory to the deception isn't it?
Whilst the main complaint is against the figurehead, there are others involved who are just as guilty by their silence.
To my mind by their refusal to state clearly that the flights were NOT solo, they risk cheapening the memory of the very aviators they are claiming to honour.
