Despite wooly statements on the Bird In A Biplane media page TCT has never explained why she could no longer fly solo after the first few legs.
As I have stated previously, I began with the intention of trying to fly the Africa flight solo (as the original descriptive materials from Nylon films show) but a combination of elements resulted in fundamental changes being made to the nature of that expedition.
That change of plan was never sent to any newspapers which continued to publish solo flight stories.
Now what "elements" could prevent such a highly trained 'aviatrix' flying alone?
"so again my own background in sort of display flying"......"I was actually trained by military pilots in my formation, aerobatic and low level stuff - has all been done with military pilots"
The documentary filming was part of the project the moment the Spirit the Spirit of Artemis left Cape Town.
Flight planning and logistics are the same with one or two in the aircraft.
The aircraft was covered in GoPro cameras.
Why would you want to contaminate the aircraft on a solo voyage with a second person who also happen to be a commercial pilot?
How did the outreach programme and charities stop TCT flying solo to "emulate" Mary Heath who did exactly that?
