Step inside the world of Jane Winstone on a guided tour that reveals both the headline-making pilot and the young woman behind the legend. From her beginnings in Whanganui to becoming Aotearoa’s youngest licensed female pilot at 17, you’ll trace her rise as a local celebrity, founding member of the Whanganui Aero Club, and participant in the opening flight at Whanganui Airport.
The tour follows Jane’s wartime service with the Air Transport Auxiliary, where she ferried aircraft across Britain at a pivotal and dangerous moment in aviation history. Alongside her flying career, discover her private world through personal letters, photographs, and the stories of the two men she loved.
This guided experience offers deeper insight into Jane’s courage, ambition, humour, and heartbreak—bringing you closer to the woman whose life burned brightly and ended too soon.
