Milton Keynes Aviation Society presents a talk by Alan Marlow on 'Operation Backfire', the project to evaluate the V-2 rocket, after the end of the Second World War.
Alan Marlow is a Fellow of the British Interplanetary Society who tonight tells us of the little remembered Operation Backfire. This was a military scientific operation during and after the Second World War that was performed mainly by British staff. The operation was designed to completely evaluate the entire V-2 rocket assembly, interrogate German personnel specialized in all phases of it, and then to test and launch missiles across the North Sea.
Venue: Kents Hill Community Centre, Frithwood Crescent, Kents Hill, Milton Keynes, MK7 6HQ. Doors open at 7.30 p.m. Tuesday 9th July and the lecture begins at 8.00 p.m.
Visitors are very welcome - £5.00 per head.
