Quote from Canute (my emphasis):
"Could somebody please post the combined evidence against her.
I don't mean rumour etc, I mean links to actual interviews where she says she is solo. Not other people saying she is solo. Not journalists saying what she thinks she is."
Yes, this is the nub of the matter. There's no doubt that her stated mission, as promulgated on her website, was to fly solo to Australia like Amy Johnson. That was certainly still stated at least as recently as her arrival in Darwin, as I commented at that time in the following post:

[the title of the link simply refers to the name of the thread in AH&N]
AFAIK she has never admitted to having amended her mission in that respect, but I stand to be corrected. She has never made any statement admitting that she carried a functioning co-pilot on even one sector of the journey.
After listening to her being interviewed by LIbby Purves on BBC Radio 4, I posted this, which includes a brief transcript of a rather interesting slip she made while describing the Arizona accident:

It might still be possible, I guess, to obtain a complete transcript of the interview from the BBC. IIRC the whole of it was based on the premise (or at least the implication) that she had flown to Australia solo.
