A second series of lectures would be great. I think they are a really good initiative- a great use of technology to reach a wider audience. I’ll be watching the final one on Monday.

Secrets of the Spitfire

“Hampshire is the location of the Army Flying Museum and it is where the Spitfire was designed, first flew and where many were built“

“Come and listen to Paul Beaver unfold the legends and myths surrounding one of the world's most iconic aeroplanes. This fascinating lecture will reveal things you may not know about the Spitfire, including among many, a wonderful story of how beer was delivered to the troops in Normandy”

Thanks for this, looks like the previous lectures are still available.

 

Will have to catch today’s at a later date as I have signed up for an online Institution of Civil Engineers lecture at the same time.
