Join us at 2pm on Sunday 23 March for the ‘50 Plus Years of Flying’ talk by Geoff Connolly. Geoff, an aviation professional, now in his 56th flying year, began flying with the RAFVR with the University of London Air Squadron, gained his Private Pilot Licence (Aeroplanes) in 1970, and has maintained proficiency in light aeroplanes since then. 

 

After legal training, he joined the RAF and was an operational helicopter pilot before becoming a flying instructor, later graduating from the 1986 class at the Empire Test Pilots School. Geoff has over 11,000 hours of flying experience, gained on over 80 types of helicopters and aeroplanes.

Join us at 2pm on Sunday 11 May for the ‘Flying Through the Ranks - Phew - That Was Close!' talk by Air Marshal GA ‘Black’ Robertson CBE.

 

His talk includes enthralling stories from the Cold War, the Falklands and Kosovo, and the experiences of both aircrew and groundcrew. 

 

‘Black’ Robertson CBE shares how his experiences in the air, who he worked with, the places he served and the jobs he did taught him lessons for life. These tales of derring-do offer a unique perspective, not just on the RAF’s development, but on the type of characters who formed its backbone.
