D-Day, Arnhem & The Rhine, A Glider Pilot's Memoir - Lecture

About

Hear a fascinating insight into the experiences of Glider Pilot, Robert Ashby, by joining Michael Ashby and Jonathan Walker, either at the Army Flying Museum or online, at 7pm on Monday 20th February 2023. The talk will cover not only the three major operations Robert Ashby took part in (D-Day, Arnhem, and the Rhine Crossing), but also into his hair-raising training, his pen-portraits of his comrades and officers, and the exacting flying skills required to carry out perilous glider landings on enemy territory while under fire.

There is the option of a pre-lecture dinner at 6pm of Shepherd's Pie with vegetables or a vegetarian option of a Yorkshire pudding filled with Roast Quorn and vegetables. Advance booking is necessary – last orders by Monday 13th February 2023.

If you are unable to be there on the night, buy an online pass to watch live and join in the Q&A, or watch on catch up afterwards. The lecture will be available to view online at a time of your choosing once it has gone live from 7pm on Monday 20th February.
