The 'forgotten' queen of aviation

Secret Cambridge

Available for over a year

Richarda ‘Dikki’ Morrow-Tait made history in the late 1940s by flying around the world – when still only 24 year-old. She remains the youngest woman to circumnavigate the globe alongside a navigator, but her story remains relatively unknown. As a new blue plaque is unveiled in Cambridge celebrating her achievements in aviation, Natalie Malcolm hears about her remarkable tale. (Photo: Ron Gerelli/Hulton Archive/Getty)
