  pennylrichardsca (now at ipernity) This is so great! We're sure Lores Bonney would have loved this. Thanks for sharing, sorry we are so very late in responding!

  Lores Bonney (pronounced ‘Lor-ee’) is a name unfamiliar to many Australians, yet she was a pioneering aviatrix who dodged death on a number of record-breaking solo flights across the globe. Thankfully, for historians, Bonney kept meticulous notes of her trips – even recording entries at 10-minute intervals during flights. Brisbane pilot Lores Bonney broke many records during the 1930s, narrowly cheating death several times. Despite being lauded as the first woman to fly solo from Australia to England, she remains little known today. Source: www.australiangeographic.com.au/topics/history-culture/20...
