Returning for the second time this year, David turns his attention to another area of expertise, based on his own experience.
From the Zeppelin to Nuclear Missiles the Royal Observer Corps was in the frontline of Britain’s defences.
Famous for its role in the Battle of Britain the Corps played a number of key roles that are less well known.
In this talk, based on his 10 years’ service with the Corps and including personal anecdotes, we will see how the Corps captured Rudolf Hess; learn of its vital role on D-Day and the long years of the Cold War.
