It really would be historic if Amanda could do the journey as it would make her the only woman to have flown UK to Australia in a DH since Jean Batten.

In May 1934, Batten successfully flew solo from England to Australia in the Gipsy Moth. Her trip of 14 days and 22 hours beat the existing England-to-Australia record of English aviator Amy Johnson by over four days
I wonder if it is logistically possible to beat that record in a Tiger Moth or indeed Amy's?
