Bob Venables - From Cape Town to Goodwood

In 1928, Mary Heath - the first woman to hold a commercial flying licence in Britain, made front page news around the world as the first pilot, male or female, to fly solo a small, open-cockpit biplane from Cape Town to London. In November 2013 to commemorate Lady Heath’s flight, pilot Tracey Curtis-Taylor will embark on a journey to fly her own open-cockpit Boeing Stearman biplane from Cape Town to Goodwood. Bob Venables provided a little extra lift with his 'profit bird' illustrations which adorn the side and undercarriage of the plane. Best of luck to Tracey!
