Here is the original press release which appears to be a red herring.
Experienced aviator Tracey Curtis-Taylor has departed Farnborough Airport in her classic 1942 Boeing Stearman Spirit of Artemis heading for Sydney, Australia in support of The Royal Navy and Royal Marines Charity.
The intrepid British aviator’s expedition will include 50 legs as she crosses 23 countries on her trip across the globe. Her first day flying saw her stop in Le Touquet, France (120 nautical miles), before continuing on to Charleville in the Ardennes (a further 124nm).

The risk of a Le Touquet landing would have presented the possiblity of Ewald being spotted by UK pilots on a cross channel lunch trip.
Merville is nearby but in the middle of nowhere so conveniant for him to climb aboard?
Her excuse for the change of plans is here.
Derrick Gunning from Modern Air at Fowlmere was there in the background overseeing the flight planning to France (we had to change this at the last minute because of the adverse wind conditions at Le Touquet) and loading my excess of baggage into one of his fleet aircraft to accompany me to Charleville. It was all the most tremendous support!
In the departure video there is footage of her map and kneeboard. Can anyone grab a still and enlarge to read the frequencies and info on it?
