Regarding the Express story this picture demonstrates her arrogance in thinking she can wear the WW2 RAF brevet and no one will notice.
This picture (according to today's story) taken at a high end hotel in India.
So many airmen worked hard to achieve the right to wear it and she has it stitched on to join all the sponsors patches as if it meant nothing.
In my opinion she chose it to give herself some sort of 'approved pilot' status.
Reminds me of the Walts who turn up at Remembrance Day wearing SAS military berets.
Regarding the American flights they were suggested in local tv reports to be solo flying on the old US mail routes although once again the Stearman was wrong for the period.
The US mail pilots flew as fast as they could from point to point and always solo.
They certainly never went sightseeing in the Grand Canyon.
I see nothing wrong with TCT or others trying to make reality tv programmes. However when it comes to exploiting the press and public to get the sponsors names splashed everywhere by suggesting these were solo flights or part of a round the world trip then is another matter.
