Brit lands in Sydney after 21,000km flight in vintage biplane
[Guardian] A British aviator has touched down in Sydney, completing her 21,000km solo flight from England in a vintage open cockpit biplane.

"I need a drink. And I need a hairdresser," said Tracey Curtis-Taylor as she climbed out of her 1942 Boeing Stearman Spirit of Artemis to cheers and applause at Sydney airport on Saturday.

The 53-year-old pilot has flown across 23 countries, making 50 refuelling stops, since she set off from Farnborough, Hampshire, southern England, in October.

The pilot's mission has been to emulate pioneering British aviator Amy Johnson who became the first woman to fly solo from Britain to Australia in 1930.
