As we say down here, it might be time for a nice cup of tea, a Bex and a good lie down, mate.
Advice that some of those posting lately might usefully follow. The Mods have made it very clear that repetitive ad hominem attacks will result in the thread being locked.

That outcome would best suit anyone wanting to avoid Ms Curtis-Taylor being pushed to answer the questions that have been asked of her.

Let's not allow that to happen.

May I suggest that you help Tracey take a different path? It is clear she is a good speaker and communicator, she enjoys a public presence and loves flying her plane. If she is ever to be rehabilitated she will have to do something different. So get her to bite bullet. Admit the PR machine behind her has got it hopelessly wrong, admit she did little or nothing to correct it, hand back the awards and commendations etc. and stop wearing RAF wings. Then get some help. Firstly, to come to terms with reality. Then to launch a real outreach programme. One that works with the lower stratas of society and encourages them to work harder at school. We also need girls in particular to break into STEM areas. We are going to need everyone to do their bit post Brexit and losing 50% of our able bodied youth because they don't think they belong is bonkers. In the developing parts of the world, invest time not on photoshoots with women pilots but time with those who are preventing women from fully participating in their societies. Then, after building a solid worthwhile reputation doing some real work with a little flying on the side, accept an award for a real achievement.
That is excellent advice!
