A contemporary postcard showing Johnson’s return to the UK. She had beaten the record set by her husband, Jim Mollison (they married in July 1932), having made the flight from Lympne to Cape Town in four days, 6hr and 54min, arriving in South Africa on November 18, 1932. The oil-filter trouble had been at Benguela, Angola.
