The finding of a number of postcards, all sent by one lady, from around the world in the 1930’s started an internet investigation to find out who she was and how she came to travel round the world by air, sea and rail in 1937. Of particular interest was a postcard from Sharjah showing an Imperial Airways ‘Empire’ flying boat. The investigation produced a detailed description of her journey. This presentation describes her journey illustrated by some of her postcards and some film from the archives.
