Geheel toevallig zie ik vandaag het tv-schema van BBC4 (die ik zelf niet eens kan ontvangen).
Vanavond is daar een programma te zien over iemand die de Afrika-vlucht van Lady Heath gaat navliegen.

Inhoud The Lady Who Flew Africa: The Aviatrix

Tracey Curtis-Taylor sets out in a vintage biplane to retrace Lady Heath's 1928 flight, in which she became the first person to fly solo from Cape Town to London. The journey is nearly 10,000 miles long and takes her through 15 African countries.

From the beauty of the wilderness to the challenge of flying through war-torn nations, Tracey faces many of the same challenges as her aviatrix predecessor. With aviation fuel scarce and with a top speed of only 95 miles per hour, her progress is slow and at times frightening.

Tracey will need the same courage and single-minded determination of Lady Heath if she is to make her lifelong dream come true.
