The Life and Death of a Legend with Joss Ackland as Narrator Rosalind Shanks as Amy
In 1930 Amy Johnson bought a Gipsy-Moth aircraft for £600. Her flying skill and experience were limited: she had never even flown across the Channel. But she had passed her examinations as a ground and aero engineer and her determination was boundless. The frail 26-year-old typist from Hull took off from Croydon airport determined to break the England-Australia air record, knowing that nearly half the journey lay across mountains, jungles and oceans without airfields or proper communications. She set out unknown. She ended a legend.
