Tracey Curtis-Taylor

Second chance to see aviator Tracey Curtis-Taylor as part of the Engineering Professors’ Council Congress, hosted by the University of Hull.

My spirit found outlet in the air – Amy Johnson

Tracey will tell the story of her expeditions in her 1942 bi-plane Spirit of Artemis over the past 4 years, flying Cape Town to Goodwood, Britain to Australia, and then completing the global tour with the flight across the USA. Interwoven within the incredible adventure of these flights which have taken her through some of the most beautiful and challenging parts of the planet, is the history of pioneering aviation from the Golden Age of aviation during the inter-war period. 

Tracey has been inspired by aviators such as Amy Johnson and Lady Mary Heath and her flights have given her the platform to meet thousands of women around the world, allowing her the opportunity to share her message of freedom, ambition and inspiration.  She will be speaking to slides with stunning photos and breath-taking video footage from her worldwide flight.
