Amy Johnson - Twenty Days: 17 May 1930

Available for over a year

Amy finds her ambitious plans for flying 900 miles from Bangkok to Singapore have to be scaled back as her plane Jason shows the strain of bodged repairs. 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 “Jason.” Twenty Days has been written by Hull writer and playwright Dave Windass and Amy’s part is performed by Rachel Harris.
