Episode Two - Amy Johnson

This week’s edition of Top Landing Gear goes back in time 90 years to explore the story of one of the great aviation pioneers.  Join Rob, Roy, James and Jez for a look at the incredible Amy Johnson, the first woman to fly solo, and we mean solo, to Australia.  We find out about her aircraft the tiny Gipsy Moth, how she got into aviation and the remarkable tale of her journey from Croydon, South London to Darwin, Northern Australia. Discover the Amy Wave and why Roy has one, what Amy did during the war and the story of her mysterious demise. Don’t forget our regular Ask James feature where we test if Jim really does know what he’s talking about.  And of course the TLG quiz, in which the team are tested on this week’s subject and in which one team member smashes the others after a totally unfair disqualification in the last episode! Then of course there is our interview, this week with the inspirational Amanda J Harrison and her daring attempt to recreate Amy Johnson’s record in her own Tiger Moth.  If you listen to just two things this month, make sure its Top Landing Gear and the Full Flaps interview with Amanda. Episode two out 2nd June and the Full Flaps interview out 9th June.  Top Landing Gear? -  Goodness me yes!
