Mark, thanks for the Batten flights...fun flyin those oldies!
Was unaware of her accomplishments until your flights
came up. I learned a thing or two. Especially how she
didn't take any parachute, life raft or vest and no radio,
....in a single engine aircraft with just a watch & simple
compass! WOW, she was one gutsy 25 year old chick!
Anything going into our logbooks for these enjoyable
flights?...Thanks for your effort. I added this video
link of a 3 part New Zealand 1988 tv documentary of
all her exploits but most of all, the unusual circumstances
of her death & reclusive bizzare life style.
