The Society’s next event will be a talk presented live via Zoom given by Greg Baughen entitled:
Duncan Sandys - Demon or Fall Guy?
Author and ( sometimes controversial) speaker Greg Baughen returns with a talk that describes how the Air Ministry was heading towards pilotless aircraft long
before the 1957 Duncan Sandys White Paper.
It looks at various unmanned systems developed between 1916 and 1957.
It describes how in the 1950’s there was general agreement between government and the Air Staff about the general direction the RAF was going and explains
that the 1957 Defence review was not about replacing aircraft with missiles.
