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: 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. She set out unknown. She ended a legend.
