IBCC Lecture & Supper Series - Coastal Command: Their defining struggle in the Second World War - 11th March 27
Coastal Command: Their defining struggle in the Second World War
How the RAF handled the roller-coaster ride that Coastal Command was obliged to endure in WWII as it struggled against the Royal Navy, politicians and other commands of the RAF as well as a formidable foe.
Following on from the Overview of Coastal Command given by Sqn Ldr (Ret) Bob Hall, this lecture goes into the nuts and bolts of the immediate pre-war and wartime struggles faced by Coastal Command. We see how woefully underprepared they were for the conflict, how our well equipped enemies very nearly won and what Coastal was able to do in order to achieve ascendancy. The lecture is in the form of three briefings placed in 1939, 41 and 43 to give an authentic flavour of the views and situations at each date, and we finish with an explanation of the importance of this battle to the success of D-Day.
The evening starts with a delicious hot supper in The Hub Café at 18.30.
