On Sunday, May 26th at 11am a pilot with Cathay Pacific Airlines will talk about life as a Civil Airline pilot with video and finally at 2pm an Army Air Corps pilot will describe flying the military Wildcat helicopter, its battlefield utility, search and rescue and anti-surface warfare roles.

The extensive static exhibition focuses on local girl Amy Johnson’s record breaking, solo flight from the UK to Australia in 1930 without a compass and only maps on her lap. Be very surprised just how much women were involved in from WW1 to the present day.
