Her talk at Cambridge was by an woman with a real passion for aviation and especially vintage biplanes. She made no mention whatsoever of being solo on her flights and she has certainly been an inspirational speaker to huge numbers of young people during her trips emphasising the benefits of studying the STEM subjects at school.

I am still puzzled by what Tracey has achieved. Why is she some sort of modern day heroine for the all the major aviation societies?
Let me remind you of your post on the LAA website last year Barry.

I am not a regular visitor to this forum however I feel obliged to post that I have proposed a motion for the AGM to request that the LAA rescind the award of the Bill Woodhams Trophy to TC-T. The award was made in good faith however subsequent information now in the public domain has made a mockery of the claims made by her and the high powered
PR circus involved along with her sponsors. I sincerely hope the motion will gain overwhelming support at the Sywell AGM.
Despite her "Inspirational speeches" her 'Aviatrix' image has been built on long distance flights which she admits were not solo.
Indeed her much edited wiki page is open to question.
They say a picture speaks a thousand words ....
