The Matilda Mission

On March 2 1990, Brian Edwards, amateur pilot, left Binbrook airfield in England, bound for Australia.

Flying solo in his 1943 Tiger Moth Matilda, he overcame difficulties, fear and danger to achieve his goal: to fly the route of the great Australian aviation pioneers, to honour the memory of his father, missing in action in World War II, and to raise money for Legacy.

The reader is taken through each suspenseful stage of his adventure up to his touchdown in Langley Park, Perth, on 13 May 1990.

The Matilda Mission offers a rare opportunity: to share the sense of achievement of person
who has made his dream a reality.
