Mary, Lady Heath

At a luncheon given in her honor by the Air League of the British Empire, AE met Lady Mary Heath, the famous woman aviator who had flown from Cape Town, Africa, to London.

Lady Heath made the flight in a small light plane called an Avian.

Amelia decided she would like to have a plane like it.

One early morning, she stole from Mrs. Guest's home and took a taxi out to Croydon Airport.

She had made a date to go up with an English pilot in Lady Heath's little two-seater Avian.

While they were in the air, Amelia made up her mind.

She would make Lady Heath an offer.

A few days later, when they sailed home on the Roosevelt, the little plane was lashed to the deck.

If there were a reason for not having met the Prince, Amelia chuckled, it was the implied nasal twang in that newspaper story.

Had Lavinia's body been dumped in the sea, or had it been hidden somewhere else before the car was abandoned on Corbin Lane to make it seem like she had taken her own life? As Gardie searched every ditch and drain in Shank Hill, Killiney and Bray, two aircraft flew overhead, surveying the east coast of Dublin and Wicklow.

One a fox moth flown by Mr G A R Williams, husband of the famous aviator Lady Heath, the other a gypsy moth flown by the Mrs Wilson of Shank Hill.

Below them a line of boats joined the search, from which grappling hooks were cast into the sea to pull up a body that may have sunk below the surface.

On the shore Gardie carried out multiple experiments to ascertain the direction a body would have been taken by the tide.
