SUMMARY:Friday Morning Talks: The Air Transport Auxiliary (ATA) – With Aldon Ferguson
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the Museum for our Friday Morning Talk\, where Aldon Ferguson will returning to talk to us about the vitally important role played by the Air Transport Auxiliary (ATA) in the Second World War. \nIrreverently also known as ‘Ancient and Tatty Airmen’ or ‘Anything to Anywhere’\, the ATA was a vital element in ferrying aircraft around Britain and near Europe during World War Two.  Formed to relieve pressure on operational aircrew\, the ATA was open to pilots and engineers unable to join the RAF for various reasons such as sex\, nationality\, medical fitness\, eyesight etc. \nWith an amazing group of aircrew\, the ATA ferried over 309\,000 aircraft.  By February 1945 the ATA operated out of 20 airfields across the UK with 637 pilots of which 110 were women. \nThis is the story of their many achievements\, many unsung\, the dangers they faced\, accidents and death but a dramatically successful operation. \nThe talk will take place in the Museum’s Learning Centre and entry is included with Museum admission or Annual Membership. \nAdvance booking required – please reserve your place via the link below. \nReserve Your Place
