Solo2Darwin – A talk by adventure pilot, Amanda Harrison

This talk is free if you have purchased an Amy Johnson: Last Flight Out show ticket.

Amanda is the true spirit of adventure. Having been told at an early age that she would “only ever be good for stacking shelves”, she never gave up on her dream of being a pilot. From small beginnings, she has successfully navigated a twenty-year journey towards her biggest dream – solo pioneering a vintage airplane across the globe. No stranger to diversions and emergencies, Amanda has faced challenges of dyslexia, cancer, and a commercial pilot career in a male-dominated world.

Amanda believes that ordinary people can do extraordinary things and is a living example of this. She is passionate about inspiring others to keep their dreams alive and live them. Not everyone has to learn to fly, just follow your own dreams.

Based in England, she finds joy and happiness through dance and continues to fly the skies as a Commercial Pilot and flight instructor, specializing in vintage aeroplanes.

This talk by Amanda Harrison and performances of Jenny Lockyer’s one woman show, ‘Amy Johnson : Last Flight Out’ also taking place on 20th May, are part of the ‘Flying High Tour’ supported by Arts Council England.

Inspired by Amy Johnson, the tour mixes performance, discussion and community workshops exploring aspiration and introducing Amy’s incredible story to new audiences.
