It still amazes me how she has the front to say that her journey was harder than Amy Johnson's because of the reduced range of the Stearman; yet fails to mention that Amy did it in an aircraft that had about 1/3 of the power, that she was an inexperienced pilot and that she was F@*%%£$ SOLO, with no F@*%%£$ support crew, either sat in with her or 200 yards behind in the support plane!

Maybe Amy did not have to contend with airspace restrictions or clearances but then again, neither did TCT; someone else sorted that out.

As for Ewald's statement. I said in an earlier post that he could resolve this once and for all, and I had faith that he could do so, however, all it has done is stir up the odour of a rodent.
