Amy Johnson replica plane to move from Hull
BBCA full-scale replica of the plane Amy Johnson used in her solo flight to Australia is to be moved out of Hull.
The copy of the Gipsy Moth was built by inmates at Hull prison and has been on display in the city as part of the 2017 City of Culture programme.
The model of the aircraft used by Hull-born Johnson has been on show at the Paragon railway station.
The prison service said "no suitable locations" in the city could be found for the plane "due to its size".
The replica, which took six months to build, is to be moved to the Yorkshire Air Museum, on the former RAF Elvington station, in North Yorkshire.
"HMP Hull has worked hard to secure a permanent home," the Ministry of Justice said in a statement.
"The plane will be in place until at least the end of the year," said a spokesperson for Hull2017.
Amy Johnson, born in 1903, flew the original plane from London to Darwin in 19 days in 1930.
The museum is to house the model alongside other Amy Johnson exhibits, it said.
Hull2017 said the general programme of cultural events would continue into 2018.
