Amy Johnson, the world famous pilot, used to go
to our school when it was called Boulevard Secondary School.
She was born in Hull in 1903 and died flying a Spitfire in 1941. Many
people believe that her aeroplane crashed into the River Thames
after being shot down by anti-aircraft guns. However, no one seems
to know what she was doing so far south as she was miles away
from her planned flight-path.
