*Save the date*

Tuesday 4th August, 11am

Graham Laurie joined the Royal Air Force as a Pilot in 1964. He flew for 36 years amassing a total of 13,500 hours and during the last 20 years of that career flew members of the Royal Family and senior government ministers. In 1981 he was selected for The Queen's Flight and in 1995, after that unit's disbandment, moved to No 32 (The Royal) Squadron at RAF Northolt, completing in all, over 2,200 Royal Flights. He retired in December 2000.

2017 was the Centenary year of Royal Flying. Graham's talk concentrates on the Queen's Flight and developments up to the present day together with some personal reminiscences. It will be illustrated with photographs Graham has collected over his many years in Royal service.
