Amy Johnson - Twenty Days: 15 May 1930

Amy finds that interest is building in her pioneering flight to Australia whilst she is grounded for repairs to her plane Jason in India.
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.
