Flying Boat Pilot in War and Peace - a talk by local author Mark Alderson

We are privileged to present a fascinating evening talk by local author Mark Alderson. Disaster and survival are the themes, as Mark reflects on the extraordinary life and career of his father - Captain M.J.R. ‘Roly’ Alderson.

Alderson’s story is one of daring adventure, wartime heroics, and the golden age of aviation brought vividly to life.
