Edward Threapleton a retired RAF Group Captain, spent many years flying over the North of England in RAF Air Defence fighter aircraft and, more recently, in Dassault Falcon involved in Electronic Warfare Training. He has a whole catalogue of interesting experiences gained during his 40 year career in aviation. One of the most memorable was his involvement in an airborne rescue of a civilian aircraft in serious danger in the skies above northern Britain for which he received a Queen’s Commendation for Bravery in the air. He will give an illustrated talk about this incident and his involvement in the little known world of airborne electronic warfare.
Non-members are welcome and are charged £3.00 per meeting.
