What I hope to achieve with the Flying High Tour...
I've put this page together as somewhere
to openly present my aims for
The Flying High Tour. Have a read!
I am fascinated by Amy's story and by the way in which aspiration inspires action and how that in turn inspires others. People have told me how the show, 'Amy Johnson: Last Flight Out' has moved them and inspired them. Not just by the way it tells Amy's story, but how it inspires them to believe they can make their own ideas take shape. That is a truly wonderful thing.
I want to tour the show to as many audiences as possible so that it can make its exciting and important impact across the country!
This tour is a challenge and one I am undertaking with an open mind and new found energy. I've been working on organising this tour since March 2024, making connections and bit by bit, the tour has taken shape.
I'll be offering the show alongside Q&As and workshop packages featuring invited speakers, Jane Delamaine and Amanda J Harrison (pictured below with me in the Science Museum) which explore the themes of the play further; Aspiration and mindset, and how, like Amy, we go about making things happen, sometimes in the face of great physical or personal challenge.
What is aspiration and what enables us to engineer an idea into reality?
On the flip side, what are the barriers to aspiration? This tour provides audiences of all ages an opportunity to discuss and explore their aspirations.

Amy to Lord Wakefield:
"I believe I can do much to encourage air mindedness in our young people.. in anyone, who wishes to fly, to take to an aeroplane and try their hand at it so that together we can build the sky roads of the future! I can see those roads up there, can you sir?"
All of the work created via the Flying High Tour enables me to grow in experience, supporting dreams for the future as we near the centenary of Amy's incredible England to Australia flight. Amy's remarkable legacy of which this tour and all the performances, workshops, audiences, and supporters are a part are forging collaborations for future events.....
