An Evening with Lady Carnarvon

About

Join Lady Carnarvon for a special evening at the Army Flying Museum hosted by George Bacon. Hear about the air accidents in the grounds of Highclere Castle during World War Two. Fragments from many of the aircraft have been found, including those from the B-17 Flying Fortress named Fort Worth Jailhouse which was on a short non-operational flight to the airbase at nearby Greenham Common. In bad weather and poor visibility, the aircraft circled around Highclere Castle before flying off south, a course that proved fatal as the bomber clipped some trees on a large hill and crashed down in the grounds of the stately home.

There will also be the opportunity to hear about Lady Carnarvon's new book "The Earl and The Pharaoh" and buy a signed copy. If you can't be there on the night, buy an online pass to watch live and join in the Q&A, or watch on catch up afterwards.
