PH-KCA / CA-001 (cn 48555/557) Amy Johnson touches down on 26R. That's Grouse Mountain and its (dry for the summer) ski slopes in the background. |

G-EBLF The first aircraft specifically ordered for Imperial Airways was the Armstrong Whitworth Argosy. This three-engined airliner first appeared at Hendon in July 1926 and started European services reaching Paris in two and a half hours from Croydon. Later models served the Indian routes before being replaced by the HP42. This plane is named "City of Glasgow". I am not sure but someone told me that this girl on the picture is Amy Johnson!? |

PH-KCA / CA-001 (cn 48555/557) Hmm, Amy Johnson is a bit dirty! Also, she doesn't seem to have been de-iced prior to take-off. The tail is still a bit white and the wings don't seem to unfrosty either. |

G-AAAH (cn 804) This is the actual aircraft in which Amy Johnson became the first woman to fly alone from Britain to Australia, in 1930. Amy departed from Croydon Airport and landed 19 days later in Darwin, narrowly missing out on the outright speed record of the period. Her aircraft was named "Jason" - the trademark of the Johnson family fish business. Note the captured Messerschmitt Me 163B Komet in the background at the Science Museum London. |

G-AAAH (cn 804) On 05-May-1930 Amy Johnson took off from Croydon Airport, heading for Australia, hoping to beat the 15-day outright record for the flight. Only 26 years-old and her only flight experience was flying from her hometown of Hull to London, few believed she'd make it. After 19 days she failed to claim outright victory, but became the first woman to fly alone half-way around the world. This is the actual aircraft Amy flew, on display at Science Museum London. |
