I've worked on Wiki pages before and been involved in "editorial wars" . I think this one should be allowed to run and run as the "Talk" ,"View History" and "this articles entry" (for deletion) threads provide an indelible audit trail of the double talk, foot stamping and deceit over its period of existence . All part of the case history.......
NB from earlier this year ( 9th January) :

"In 1997, Curtis-Taylor worked on the Flying Legends airshow at Duxford, Oxfordshire.[8]

She was the first female pilot to work at the Shuttleworth Collection of vintage planes at Biggleswade.[9]

In 2012, Curtis-Taylor was part of a team of Russian pilots who flew a three-month journey from Kiev to Cape Town.[10]

In 2013, Curtis-Taylor flew a 13,000km solo flight from Cape Town to England, following the 1928 flight of Mary, Lady Heath.[11]

In 2015-2016, Curtis-Taylor flew a vintage 1942 biplane 21,000km from Farnborough, England, to Sydney, Australia, emulating the journey of pioneer aviator Amy Johnson.[12] In 1930, Johnson was the first woman to fly solo from England to Australia. Although Curtis-Taylor was the only person to fly the plane on her journey, she had a team of engineers and a camera crew travelling in a separate aircraft.[13]"

The links in brackets make interesting sources for cross referencing ,if anybody cares to look.
