Boeing-Stearman to fly Capetown to Goodwood

[Dave Homewood]

I just listened to a great interview on the latest podcast from Aviation Xtended in which Pieter Johnson talked with Tracey Curtis-Taylor (who is a Brit but she learned to fly and was an instructor right here in New Zealand). She is planning to recreate a flight made in 1928 in which Irish pilot Mary heath flew solo from Capetown in South Africa to England.

Tracey is doing it in a Boeing-Stearman, starting from Capetown on the 1st of November. You can read more and follow her progress from her website here www.capetowntogoodwood.com/

Tracey was also a flying member of New Zealand Warbirds apparently. Does anyone know what warbird types she flew here? And did she ever do any airshow displays?

Tracey was a member of the Harvard 78 syndicate and flew the aircraft ,amongst many civil type aircraft she instructed in.I personnaly am unaware of any displays she participated in.
