From Crete to Cape Town by vintage airplane

Issued on:

It's almost a hundred years ago since the Irish aviator Mary Heath became the first person to fly solo from Cape Town to London. Now a collection of vintage planes are flying the same route, in the other direction. They're expected to arrive in South Africa this week but before they took off, Heidi Fuller-Love met them in Greece last month.
