Chris Brockbank - RAF Bomber Command in WW2 - The People

​

The history of war is sometimes described as stories seen through the eyes of the winners. Chris Brockbank is an interviewer for the Digital Archive of the International Bomber Command Centre, and in his talk tonight much of the narrative does fill that description - but for very good reason: some narrators are still with us.

Chris speaks about a wide variety of intriguing tales related to him over recent years. His sources were members of Bomber Command aircrew and ground personnel who really did experience the dangers, the terror, the pain, the humour and some delights of the WW2 air war

Alan Biggins – On Foot in the Intelligence Zone – The Many Voices of the Whaddon Web

​

Alan Biggins' background is in the Royal Air Force, computing and languages. His talk tonight is based on a chapter from his book The Intelligence Zone. It is about The Whaddon Web – MI6's  wartime communications sites spread across 20 locations, mainly in North Buckinghamshire.

The breadth and complexity of this network of spies, saboteurs and command can best be seen from the map that he commissioned - click here
