Learning at Lunchtime: Anecdotes from an RAF Pilot's Career, with Group Captain Jon Fynes RAF(Retd)
Wed 21 November 12:30-1:30pm
In a career lasting 35 years, Jon flew over 40 different aircraft and amongst many roles was responsible for the Red Arrows, chosen to be the RAF Pallbearer at the Queen Mother's funeral, jousted with 1600 media reps as the RAF spokesman for Gulf War 2 and even had a complete episode of Blue Peter tackling an unusual challenge with his son. Most events, no matter how serious or important, tend to have amusing elements, many of which are never discussed in public, Jon intends sharing some of his, including what almost went wrong at the funeral of Her Majesty The Queen Mother. He will also try to answer any questions you may have about the RAF….how low do they really fly or what is a laser guided bomb?
