The Gipsy Moth and Aviation’s Golden Age

In the early 20th century, England and Australia produced some of the world’s greatest pioneering aviators. Among them were Amy Johnson, the first woman to fly solo from England to Australia, and C. W. A. Scott (Charles William Anderson Scott), a record-breaking pilot whose daring flights captured global attention. Their stories are marked by courage, determination, and astonishing leaps of faith. Nearly a century after Scott’s record flight, the very de Havilland Gipsy Moth he flew was painstakingly restored and returned to one of his original landing sites in Brisbane. Join Gary Kent as he shares the inspiring journeys of these pioneering aviators and the remarkable story of a Gipsy Moth that made history.
