Friday Morning Talks: The wider history of RAF Exeter – With Chris Wiseman

Join us at the Museum for our Friday Morning Talk, where the history of RAF Exeter will be brought to life through its historian Chris Wiseman.

Following on from his in depth talk on RAF Exeter in the Battle of Britain, Chris brings together a lifetime of research exploring it’s origins from 1937, right through to Exeter airport as it’s known in present day. He’ll shed light on its origins, it’s key role in the Battle of Britain, the Exeter Blitz and it’s role in D-Day. He’ll cover the types of aircraft flown from there and the impact the base had on the surrounding area, also exploring the legacy that’s left today.

The talk will take place in the Museum’s Learning Centre and entry is included with Museum admission or Annual Membership.
