She was so iconic. Designed her own fashion label to raise money to fly. She was descended from Derry people so it's all the better that she landed in Gallagher's field having completed the first solo Transatlantic flight by a woman.
And here she is, just after landing.

This is one of my favourite archive films. Look at her! #Legend

Tomorrow night at 9pm on BBC Alba there will be a fascinating documentary about Isobel Wylie Hutchison with footage from #Greenland
I'm looking forward to discovering more about this astonishing Scottish woman.
Here's a link to an article in The Herald about her. #IsobelWylieHutchison
