Was that Mark Smith Duncan? Excellent speaker.
I was at his talk on the VC with my son last Sunday in Croydon. He talked for an hour and a quarter without notes and handed around a real VC which he owns , we were told by him not to try sneaking out with it because' however fat and old I look, I WILL catch you'. It is worth around £250,000.
I was privileged to meet up at the talk with 98 year old Harry Winter ,one of the only surviving members who served in Bomber Command . He was shot down and as a POW was on the long march .
I had a long chat with him about my uncle who was also in Bomber Command but was shot down and did not survive.
