Day 3 for Amy Johnson, Photo, Last flight in the jet for a while for me last year.

Day 3 for #AmyJohnson she flew from Constantinople through the #Taurus mountains in Turkey down through Syria landing just north of Aleppo. She had escaped death in this flight, as the clouds had come down and she had missed mountain sides! Photo is me this time last year last flight in jet for a while, whilst preparing for my take off. #Solo2Darwin #femalepilot #blueskies #givegetgo #pilot #flying #aviationlovers #aviator #aircraft

Oncology

Check up with the #oncologist went excellent. Hot flushes mean tamoxifen working! However 5am is still a bore to have a hot flush. And sweating seems the norm now! However I am here to complain about it! Yeh. Everyone get checking! #breastcancerawareness #followyourdreams #flying #adventure
