april 2012 will see the centenary of the the first solo flight across the channel by a woman.
there are plans afoot to mark the flight by harriet quimby by holding events and commissioning a statue of her.
the cost is expected to be around £.80,000 and it is hoped that the money will be raised by public subscription.
