Ok technically this belongs in Commercial but it’s nice to see Amy Johnson commemorated and still breaking records 🙂

Nice! On a related note, I was pleased to note on a visit to Sheffield University last week that one of the engineering buildings is named for Amy Johnson 🙂

with GPS flight routs imminent, may see records being challenged more often.

Not too shabby, but G-ASGC still holds the record from JFK to Prestwick (2794NM) as far as I know: http://www.vc10.net/Memories/testing_earlydays.html#AtlanticDash The distance from JFK to Gatwick is 3015NM, a bit more, I know….
