Explanation Carol Vorderman Christian Name Carol Jean Married and Divorced Patrick King 1990 - 2000 two children still carry the King surname Katie and Cameron. Just a rouse to throw the public off the trail :D

It doesn't explain anything, aircraft ownership proves nothing! The OP stated:
I wish her good luck and pleasant WX for her flight. Always found Carol a stunning girl but only just heard that she is a pilot too. |
I have no idea who you've mistaken for her, but Wikipedia doesn't mention her being involved on How (How (TV series) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Her first TV appearance was on Countdown in November 1982 - the first programme on Channel 4. She was a junior civil engineer before that. Good luck to her, sounds like a great adventure. Also, she is definitely mentioned as one of the presenters of how 2, so perhaps you just need to brush up on your reading skills How 2 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
RTN11, my comment was about who presented the programme made by Southern Television in 1977 in response to Chevvron's comment. Your comment is about a different programme name (How 2 was a revival and not a continuation of How), made by a different production company, in a different decade and does nothing to explain who Chevvron may have mistaken for Carol Vorderman:ugh:

Flying footwear
Trying to run before you can walk comes to mind...
Who told her it would be a good idea to try to control an aircraft wearing enormous wedges? - see pics in Carol Vorderman flies into RAF Fairford for the Royal Air Tattoo...as she prepares for ambitious 29,000 mile solo flight around the world | Mail Online |
You sure she didn't change shoes before getting out of the aircraft?
|
Maybe they'll be a fashion line in hi-viz jackets to be photogenic for the rag trade?
|
Well, as Eve Jackson was planning to fly solo around the word in a microlight with under 70 hours logged, I don't see why Ms Vorderman shouldn't plan something similar in a much more suitable aircraft for the job. In the end she only :-) got to Australia.

Daredevil Carol Vorderman begins her flying countdown in a live tv first | presscentre
Ugh, just came across this vomit inducing tripe! Daredevil Carol Vorderman begins her flying countdown in a live tv first - Kicks off World Record plans with her first solo flight on This Morning. - Carol admits it will be a 'nervous moment' as she reaches 1000ft. - Determined to get full commercial pilot licence to complete around the world mission. Finally, what height does she normally fly dual circuits at? Personally my most nervous moment was when the wheels lifted off the ground and I realized I was by myself. 1000' looked exactly the same. (Away to throw up) |
Could someone be paying her to do the round-the-world trip? In which case it might be aerial work...

It's all very well everyone getting worked up about a rich celebrity going off on a round-the-world jolly, but there's another lady doing something far more worthy who should be getting this kind of attention. Obstetric surgeon Dr Webster is using a C182 to visit ~25 countries through Africa to provide medical training to gynecologists and midwives throughout the region, as well as donate equipment in the training locations. The flight has currently made it from the UK as far as Guinea Bissau and is planned to continue to Cape Town.
Flight for Every Mother |
I'd say an IR and the training experiences she will pick up doing it would be far more useful than a CPL.

I suspect the lady seeks the adventure of the undertaking as much as she desires to help the needy Africans, nothing wrong with that of course. |
At this point, it seems that the purpose of Ms V's flight is self-publicity.
We may learn more on the TV show featuring her first solo but I doubt it..... If you choose to do some good work on your travels, that's way higher on my scale of worthy causes that simply flying around the world as a publicity stunt just to raise your celebrity status. Mind you, she is a good looking woman for her age. |
First solo looked good - it looked like a nice, stable approach and a well controlled landing.
I'd have been well happy if that was one of my student's first solo. Well done Carol! :) |
