Looking around in passing , it seems that the good lady's Website is "still in the water" post the self-pediatric blasting 25th October reference to the Times 24th October piece ( which originally includes 10 readers' comments )
Her several Facebook sites seem to have been systematically carpet bombed by various upset writers giving references to verbal and pictorial howlers that dissolve any remaining pretence she may imagine of any professional and moral credibility. Her Wicki page erodes away daily, providing a comprehensive " talk" section which tracks her ongoing descent into greater ridicule.
A diminishing number of breathless and hyperbolic outbursts on her various sites flap like landed fish, in turgid language very similar to that which her publicists invoke : "epic" "outstanding" " amazing" " flying high" "pioneering' " wonderful" "achievements" " "inspiring" " successful" " accomplished" " feats" " aviation skills" " endurance" " classic" etc.etc. ad nauseam . All in all I sense that the PR drum has been beaten into insensitivity and now the last resort will be of "heads below the parapet" in the expectation that " all this will blow over".

Looking at this site I feel that that will not happen all the time that honest people in the aviation domain feel a sense of anger of being seemingly involved by association in an act of cynical and monetary exploitation of our international heritage.
P.S. Just tried to sit through her Australian RAeS address and gave up after " Charles Lindbergh was the first to fly the Atlantic" and" y'know there were more women in Aviation then than there are now" .......
