Amy Johnson - Twenty Days: 9 May 1930

A bad landing and damage to Amy’s plane Jason continue to blight her passage through the Middle East – let alone the hostile and remote territory. But there’s still time for a spot of tea with a British Consul and petrol and oil for Jason.
Twenty Days is an evidence-based, first-person retelling of Amy’s story from the Amy Johnson Arts Trust. It covers the highs, the lows and the unexpected incidents that the 26-year-old Hull woman experienced on her route to making history.
Twenty Days is based on Amy’s own records of her flight, on contemporary press reports and the telegrams she sent home to her parents back in Hull throughout her gruelling 20-day passage in May 1930 from Croydon Airport to Darwin in Australia in her Gipsy Moth aeroplane called β€œJason.”
Twenty Days has been written by Hull writer and playwright Dave Windass and Amy’s part is performed by Rachel Harris.
