This public talk is a true story of love, honour, bravery and tragedy, taken from my Mother's 1941 diary when she was just eighteen years old and covers the months after my Uncle's Wellington Bomber went missing on a bombing raid to Dusseldorf. I have researched the RAF historical sites for both my Uncle and my Father. I have their training records, my Uncle's last flight plan and other relevant documents, but really the diary entries and what happened in that year to the family are of great interest and I think most unusual. Whenever I give my talk, I am always told stories afterwards of courage and bravery, whether the audience lived through or like me never knew a wartime situation. The story is a very personal one and should be told about these three very brave young people.

About Heather Wylde

I am a professional speaker and at the moment I have two public talks which are very successful. As an artist I also run an Art workshop which has proved very popular and great fun. Both talks and Art workshop, last just under one hour.

I use power point presentations for both my talks and I provide my own equipment unless you would prefer that I use yours. I have my own laptop, projector and screen (if needed), plus pictures and documents relating to the talks.

I also bring all the equipment for my Art workshop, including paper,pencils, erasers, pencil sharpeners and in some cases paints. I also bring completed tiger face pictures and some that already have the eyes drawn in.

My talks and workshop appeal to both ladies and gentlemen of all ages. They are all very interesting in their own way and the Art workshop is great fun .Please contact me to find out more.
