A Bomber Command Navigator and POW
Starting with Alan’s basic training in Devon and his reaction to the bombing of his home city, the talk moves onto his airborne training in Canada and then focuses on a number of key raids in which he was involved and the bombers in which he flew – the Wellington and Stirling. After that, the focus is very much on survival.
Having survived one shoot down, Alan is forced to bale out a second time after his Stirling is shot down over Holland and he ends up as a POW in the notorious Stalag Luft 3 camp, culminating in the Long March which led to his eventual release in May 1945.







About the speaker - Stuart Green
My father’s love of aircraft definitely rubbed off on me, as I have enjoyed a 34 year career in aviation in a variety of roles including, ground operations, working for an international aviation organisation, flying instructor for RAF cadets and Captain on the B737 and A320 for a major UK airline. I am currently working as an Associate Lecturer at Bucks New University in High Wycombe, teaching Human Factors and Sustainability in Air Transport.
In my spare time, I am continuing my research into my father’s role in Bomber Command and I would also like to look into my Uncle’s role as a Major in the Chindits in WW2.
