Overall: Thank you for this article, it turned out be much more interesting than it was at the beginning. I have added some additional info and you might find another hook which I could approve. There is one thing about the differing number of participants. 96 is in one source, 88 in an other the airplane manufacturer Avro Avian mentions 86... How about mentioning a range of participants or a record amount of participants to date. Then also, how about using the pic of her wearing the flyers uniform? It is a nice portrait.Paradise Chronicle (talk) 02:01, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
The new info adds a lot to the interest and I see it has been tweeted again. Thank you. I changed the pic at your suggestion. (I was thinking of doing a millionairres link but it wasnt really about her). I cannot see the source you used but AGF gives me Alt2. Do feel free to tweak or adjust it.

Hi Victuallers, I added the source for the denial of the room before the race, (its at the section time to fly) but she didn't turn up at the race 100 years ago but in 1930. Could you adapt the hook in this sense, please? Then also the issue with the number of participants isn't solved. The keyaero source mentions even 101, but also a record 101. Maybe something like most to date or over 70 ...? Paradise Chronicle (talk) 21:18, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
Thanks @Paradise Chronicle: My fault, I was trying to squeeze in that its the centenary of the race this year. I have removed that badly designed attempt. Victuallers (talk) 07:25, 25 July 2022 (UTC)
I made a little adaption to the hook by adding the year and removed a second she to bring in more flow. The issue with the number of participants is probably because of the several numbers mentioned. I guess that of over 90 entries to the race, 88 started (actually took off from the airfield) and 61 finished it. As for me this one is good to go . Paradise Chronicle (talk) 08:15, 26 July 2022 (UTC)
