RAeS lecture in cooperation with the DGLR, HAW Hamburg, VDI

This lecture will describe the life of an  RAF Phantom pilot in the 1970’s and centres on the exciting job of chasing Russian Tu-95 Bear long range reconnaissance aircraft over the North Sea as they approached UK airspace.  It starts with Nick entering the RAF as a student pilot, to leave 19 years later as a Flight Commander on Tornados. 

He will also spend a little while describing his time as an Airbus A340 and A330 Captain.
