ABOUT:

Inspired by record-breaking aviatrix, Amy Johnson CBE. Children can find out about Amy Johnson's incredible solo flight from Croydon to Darwin and construct their own model of the plane she flew halfway across the world!

The session is led by Jenny Lockyer, experienced facilitator and Creative Director of FLY: The Amy Johnson Festival of Inspiration. FLY was created to elevate and celebrate Amy's legacy and inspire people with her story. As the first woman to fly solo from England to Australia and the second woman in the world to qualify as a ground engineer, Amy's story begins with defying the odds. In her own words she was an ordinary woman who did extraordinary things!

PLEASE NOTE:

This workshop is bookable SEPARATELY to the Croydon Airport Open Day. Please book your open day tickets here: https://www.historiccroydonairport.org.uk Children must be accompanied by a responsible adult

*********************************************************************
FLY Festival is busy working to raise funds for activities elevating the legacy of the incredible Amy Johnson, whose story cannot fail to inspire. As we head towards the 2030 centenary of Amy’s solo flight from England to Australia, FLY is hard at work to bring to life an exciting national event for this very special anniversary.

Historic Croydon Airport Trust have been running their very popular open days for years now, attracting visitors to this iconic Art Deco building, the UK’s first international airport and seat of modern aviation. In the golden age of flying pioneers, it was from this aerodrome that a string of international record-breaking flights began, including those of Amy Johnson, first woman to fly solo from England to Australia in 1930.
