JUST JASON

A full-size model of the aircraft used by Amy Johnson, the first woman to fly solo from Britain to Australia, has gone on public display at Hull Paragon Station as part of their City of Culture celebrations.

Inmates of Hull Prison created the Gipsy Moth plane over a six-month period. Amy Johnson was born in Hull in 1903 and flew the original plane from London to Darwin in 19 days in 1930.
