Black has given talks at the Cheltenham Literature Festival, the Gloucester History Festival, London’s Brydges Place Club, the West London Aero Club, RAeS branches and various Museums: Bentley Priory, Biggin Hill, Brooklands and the Spifire & Hurricane Memorial Museum – as well as the RAF’s at both Cosford and Hendon. After-dinner talks figure too: at RAF stations and for charity.
Amongst the 2023 highlights were an appearance at the Gloucester History Festival alongside Dilip Sarkar and visits to the National Memorial to the Few, Capel-le-Ferne, and the Army Flying Museum, Middle Wallop. A talk at the opening of Vanguard’s new Staples Corner storage facility, displaying the beautifully restored first production Hunter aircraft, WT555, was a particular, nostalgic pleasure.
The 2024 programme started slowly thanks to a knee replacement but is gathering pace with several talks at the Spitfire & Hurricane Museum and a busy end to the year in prospect.
The first link below is to a recent podcast. The others are Aircrew Interview productions created by CEO Mike Young, with suggested start points in parentheses.
