Thanks, Amy Johnson

Thanks, Amy Johnson.
Thanks for being a role model to so many and one who came from my own city.
Thanks for going ahead with your career after getting up and leaving because a man was rubbish to you.
Thanks for showing us all that a woman can be a fantastic engineer and a brave pilot.
Thanks for wearing trousers and fixing engines and making bumpy landings and being badass.
Thanks for inspiring a festival that brought massive moths to the city of Hull.
Thanks for those moths being the motivation for me to spend time with the most amazing woman I know.
Thanks for showing me you can mess it up from time to time and still be remembered for the right reasons.
You were lost but it means that your memory lives on in all of us.
Thanks, Amy Johnson.
