About this event
| At the time of his death in April 2020, at the age of 98, my father was one of the last surviving Lancaster pilots from WW2. The Times printed a full-page obituary of him in its 8 May issue commemorating the 75th anniversary of VE Day. This was followed by a book: Jonny Cracknell and Adrian Stevens, Tomorrow May Never Come: The Remarkable Life Story of ‘Stevie’ Stevens, Lancaster Pilot and Beloved School Teacher (Wing Leader Ltd, 2021, 256 pp. www. wingleader.co.uk). It tells my father’s story, as he had wished, in his own words. Just before he took his last flight, he recorded a video, spliced with archival footage, which will form the basis of my talk. |
