If not Croydon, then maybe Kenley (sorry have no contact there) or surely Redhill would be willing to host your send off? ....Satcop ?

Looking at the other, more public attempt, which has got to Rhodes already, I'm more and more convinced Amanda deserves support.

Is there news of the Scandinavian chap, whose adventure is also being undertaken the hard way? Sorry, I've forgotten his name, so will have to google a while...

When you have been working towards a dream for so long, there is no way I was giving in. Having found some amazing sponsors, and an aeroplane I was half way there already. So never one to give in, it has now turned in a #Race2Darwin. Although I am doing the adventure solo flying and no support aircraft, flying the original route apart from Syria, even I lack the guts for that one, in a DE Havilland Moth, just like Amy Johnson, as I wish to pay true homage to my hero. 19 days is the target to bet.

If the other competitor is already in Rhodes barring technical failures how is it going to be possible for you to beat her to Australia ?

Great challenge and best of luck.

She seems to be taking a somewhat leisurely approach............
