Evening Herald; 11 July 1928– page 1

LADY HEATH: Earlier that year, Lady Mary Heath had become the first person to fly solo from Cape Town, South Africa to London. She took off in January and made the final touchdown in May of 1928, flying in her Avro Avian, which was an open cockpit biplane model.

After completing the journey to London, Lady Heath gave a quote to the Daily Express saying:

“It is so safe that a woman can fly across Africa wearing a Parisian frock and keeping her nose powdered all the way.”

While Lady Heath herself made light of her accomplishments for the paper, she was a very accomplished flier, and the journey was far from easy. She suffered from sunstroke in Zimbabwe, which forced her to make an emergency landing.

Later that same year, Earhart met Heath when she was in London. Heath extended an invitation for a flight in her Avro Avian. Earhart, who was apparently enamoured with the plane, accepted an offer to buy it off Heath and had it shipped back to America.
