Amy Johnson play to land in her hometown of Hull

A one-woman play celebrating the life of pilot Amy Johnson will end its tour in her hometown of Hull.

The play, called Amy Johnson: Last Flight Out, will land at Middleton Hall, the University of Hull, on 20 May after taking in venues in Sheffield, Glasgow, Croydon and Leeds.

Johnson was born in Hull in 1903 and became the first woman to fly solo from London to Australia. She died in a plane crash while flying for the Air Transport Auxiliary in 1941.

Jenny Lockyer, who has written and performs in the play, said: "My aim is to explore with audiences of all ages how Amy had a dream and made it happen."

She added: "It's been almost a hundred years since Amy's incredible flight to Australia and her story is still as relevant and exciting as ever.

"Understanding how we can bring our ideas to reality is not just the basics of engineering but inspires all kinds of other decisions in our lives."

The event in Hull will also feature a talk from Amanda Harrison, a pilot who recreated Johnson's record-breaking flight in her own vintage aeroplane.

Johnson made history in 1930 when she flew her Gypsy Moth biplane, called Jason, 11,000 miles (18,000 km) from Croydon to Darwin.
