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.
 
THIS IS A FREE INTRODUCTORY TALK TO OUR BMMHS SUPPORTERS
 
To join this talk please contact SoFFAAM on
soffaam@btinternet.com
Please mention BMMHS in your email and the Zoom joining link will be sent out to you before the talk.

BMMHS Launches New Schedule of Events for 2021

Here at BMMHS we have been working on an exciting schedule of BMMHS Events for 2021. COVID-19 remains an uncertainty for all of us so it has necessitated some changes from the schedule we originally had planned for you last year.

Next year in 2021 we will be holding two events per month:

  •  A Zoom talk on the first Tuesday of each month at 2pm
 A Zoom talk on the first Tuesday of each month at 2 pm
WAAF Radar Operator Zoom
BMMHS Zoom Talks
  • A meeting with a talk on the second Wednesday of each month at 7.30 pm.      Whilst we still have restrictions with COVID, all the scheduled Woodcote village hall talks will be replaced by the same Zoom talk at the same time. 
BMMHS Meetings
A meeting with a talk on the second Wednesday of each month at 7:30 pm
