Lets be aving you! 0 Posted July 3, 2014 One or two of our more forthright contributors aside, I had never previously associated Norwich City with SS until now. That is, until I stumbled upon a Wikipedia link to Amelia Earhart (the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic):http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_Norwich_City"Nikumaroro Island is currently being investigated by the The International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery (TIGHAR) in hopes of discovering and salvaging the lost wreckage of Amelia Earhart''s Lockheed Electra.[2] TIGHAR believes Earhart may have landed on Nikumaroro. The SS Norwich City wreck was prominent at the time of Earhart''s final flight and radio messages claiming to be from Earhart were allegedly heard following the plane''s disappearance. One such claim was from a young girl who believed she overheard a radio message from Earhart and may have heard Earhart say Norwich City during the supposed transmission."So unlike Norwich City to be associated with wrecks, disappearances and all-round monumental disasters.
