  • Amy Johnson CBE, 1903-1941: a Brief Biography Amy Johnson Is One of Those Historical Figures Who Have Generated Many Myths and Half-Truths
    Amy Johnson CBE, 1903-1941: A brief biography Amy Johnson is one of those historical figures who have generated many myths and half-truths. She is, for example, often portrayed as a champion for women’s rights. In fact, she largely pursued her own agendas, though she was certainly an inspiration to many women. She was also “the typist who flew to Australia”, the plucky amateur so beloved of British society. Amy did spend some time working in a legal office, but was educated far above the level of the average 1930’s typist. And although her early flights were not exactly methodically planned, she became a highly professional pilot. Then of course there are the numerous theories about her death, which seem sometimes to attract more attention than her numerous achievements. The real Amy is far more complex and interesting. Amy was born in Hull on 1 st July 1903. The family home at the time was in St. George’s Road, in the western part of the city, not far from the docks. Her father, John William Johnson, was a partner in the family fish processing business. This had originally set up by Amy'’ Danish grandfather, who moved to Hull and anglicized his name to Andrew Johnson. “JW” Johnson was a shrewd and resourceful character and somewhat of a pillar of local society. As the family business grew, the Johnson family found a better house, acquired two cars and generally enjoyed a comfortable lower middle class lifestyle. “JW” joined the Rotarians and was a staunch Methodist. He also proved to be a loyal and energetic supporter of Amy’s career, once she had set her heart on being a pilot (for example he contributed half of the £600 needed to buy her first aircraft).

  • Amy Johnson – Flying from Kingsbury Amy Johnson Was Born in Hull, in East Yorkshire, on 1 July 1903, the Eldest Daughter of a Fish Merchant
    Amy Johnson – Flying from Kingsbury Amy Johnson was born in Hull, in East Yorkshire, on 1 July 1903, the eldest daughter of a fish merchant. Her home town rightly celebrates a young woman who became a famous pilot, but it was the time she spent living and working in what is now the London Borough of Brent which paved the way for her flying career. Recent research has identified the house in Kingsbury where Amy Johnson lived, and this article will give readers a taste of her story, including her local connections. A postcard picture of Amy Johnson in 1930. [Image from the internet] After school in Hull, Amy went to Sheffield University, thinking that she would probably become a teacher. She graduated in 1925, with an ordinary degree in French, Latin and Economics, but then spent the summer at a secretarial college, and took a job as a short-hand typist at a Hull accountancy firm. In early 1927, she moved to London, first working in a shop for a couple of weeks, before getting a position in April as a secretary in a City law firm. A year later, a bus ride to explore the surrounding countryside brought her to Stag Lane Aerodrome, on the border between Kingsbury and Edgware. She sat down and watched the planes for several hours, and went back to her rented room knowing that she wanted to fly. An aerial view of Stag Lane Aerodrome in 1926. [Source: Brent Archives - online image 582] Amy found out that the De Havilland School of Flying charged £5 for a one hour flying lesson (more than her weekly wages!), but that if she joined the London Aeroplane Club, also based at Stag Lane, for three guineas, lessons cost “only” thirty shillings.

Instead she bought a Percival Gull monoplane, one of only nineteen ever made. Back in Britain she obtained a B licence permitting her to fly commercially and this led her to set up a passenger air service.

The offer at the time was rejected at a public meeting held in the Village Hall for two main reasons 1. The length of the tenure and 2. the size of the plot being offered. Since then the Parish Council have been negotiating with the owners to meet the wishes of the public meeting. The idea of creating an area for the village and visitors to remember the history of the site and to support the varied wildlife seems to have hit a positive note with the owners and this prompted the issue of the survey to see what support there may be from the village. The Parish Council in no way condone the use of the field which is official private land, but realise that many people use it for walking and exercise. The survey closes on the 31st July and this article was written on the 27th July. 72 people completed the survey on line and several people contacted the Council via email– The survey consisted of 8 questions which asked people to make their comments or answer direct questions- Q1– Asked if you were a resident of Lympne Parish 71 replied yes 1 replied no Q2- Do you use Lympne Airfield and if so how often– This prompted various replies ranging from walking the dogs, running for fitness and walking through the area, for studying the history.
