I have ploughed through this thread, and it
has been hard work. So, just for the benefit of others who are newcomers here, a
tiny example of the many contradictions that seem to generate around T C-T.
As others here have noted, the link to the
Jetgala magazine interview clearly shows the following:
Q: What sparked your interest in aviation?
I love the early planes. It’s completely romantic and whimsical but that’s my approach to flying. It became a hobby. I’m not interested in modern procedural flying. I’ve never been a professional flyer. I’m just an enthusiastic aviator.
The
opening line of T C-T's Wikipedia page biography, "last modified on 4 November 2016, at 15:57", has this:
Tracey Curtis-Taylor (born 1962) is a British aviator who has worked as a commercial pilot and flying instructor in New Zealand.
It would be laughable if it wasn't so bloody tragic.
