Naval Aviator

About

The Army Flying Museum are excited to be welcoming Chris Taylor back to the Museum at 7pm on Monday 20th November. Come along to hear his 'no holds barred' account of the many life-threatening and stressful situations he faced during the ups and downs of life as a Royal Navy Officer and Fleet Air Arm pilot of the Cold War: including inadvertently ramming a German frigate in thick fog in the Baltic; his encounters with armed Chinese patrol boats and soldiers whilst serving on a Hong Kong patrol boat; being attacked with an acetylene blow torch and kidnapped by a French trawler when he was a Fishery Protection Officer; as a Wasp pilot he almost singlehandedly had to protect the Royal Yacht from the threat of Libyan gunboats; as a Lynx pilot he won the day in numerous major international exercises around the world and served for a month on detachment to a Dutch frigate.

There will be the opportunity to buy a glass of wine or soft drink beforehand.

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.
