Flying with the Royal Family

Wincanton and District Museum and History Society have invited GROUP CAPTAIN DAVID GREENWAY OBE to talk about his experiences of flying the Royal Family.

David Greenway served 37 years in the Royal Air Force as a pilot. He flew large, multi-crewed aircraft and, amongst many postings, he served in Malta, Cyprus, Germany and Belgium. Throughout his career, he undertook many public speaking engagements both within and outside the service environment. He commanded the Royal Air Force's only Airborne Early Warning Squadron.

From 1989-1991, David Greenway was Deputy Captain of The Queen's Flight and was responsible for planning the flying undertaken by members of the Royal Family. He also accompanied all members of the family, both in the air and on the ground, and was able to see how they worked at first hand. He spent most of his time with HRH The Princess of Wales. His talk is an affectionate look at the life he led.

David is a witty and accomplished speaker who is much in demand around the country and as a lecturer on cruises, so this really is a talk not to be missed.

7.30pm in the Shed at the Balsam Centre, Wincanton.

Friday 9th April 2010.

£6 (£5 for members) including refreshments.
