Cold War Fast Jet Flying- From the Cockpit

Cold War Fast Jet Flying- From the Cockpit. ( Starfighters and Hunters from a pilot’s perspective)

The latest in the South Yorkshire Aircraft Museum’s (Aeroventure) continuing series of aviation and modelling lectures is sure to appeal to all those with an interest in classic jet fighters.

Best known for his exploits flying Harrier GR3’s on ground attack missions during the Falklands War, Sqn Ldr Jerry Pook flew the Hawker Hunter prior to this and was also detached to the Royal Netherlands Air Force flying F-104 Starfighters during the 1970’s.

Jerry will be relating his experiences flying these two, very different, types and attempting to put the audience ‘in the cockpit’.

Sqn Ldr Pook has recently had his book, detailing his Falklands War experiences, published and copies will be available on the night.

The date is Saturday 12th January 2008, with a start time of 7.00 p.m. The venue is the South Yorkshire Aircraft Museum, in Doncaster. Tickets are available priced at £7.50 and it is essential to pre-book as there is a limit of 55 seats for this event.
