In a new collaborative venture with the Society of Friends of the Fleet Air Arm Museum (SoFFAAM) we are delighted to announce a FREE introductory Zoom talk to you our BMMHS Supporters.

This Zoom presentation is by Stephen Pitts, who will talk about his Fathers contributions to the war effort on the Russian convoys.  James Pitts was a Telegraphist Air Gunner (TAG) with 856 Squadron FAA.  A fascinating and interesting story about his training, operations and subsequent visits after the war to Russia and ultimately receiving the Arctic Star and donating it to the Museum of the Great Patriotic War.
