Not many of the general public will be aware of the part played by Fleet Air Arm aviators, operating in the most hostile of environments and during years where the Flight Safety record was apalling and dozens of young men lost their lives without the publicity in todays highly connected age. We also were part of the nuclear deterrent at the time. My talk is highly informative, illustrated and can also be delivered on Zoom. I am a very enthusiastic speaker and although relatively new to the speaker circuit, my presentations have been very well received
