A Short History Of The RAF

About this event

Join us at The Red Lion for a delightful dinner of much-loved British favourites followed by a fascinating journey through the first 100 years of aviation at RAF Odiham.

Presented on behalf of The Odiham Society, aviation expert and enthusiast Philip Riley FRAeS will explore the people, aircraft and events that have shaped the station’s remarkable history, and its enduring relationship with the village of Odiham.

Philip has spent much of his career within the British aerospace industry. A founding member and the first chairman of the Society’s Farnborough Branch, he has also served on its Council and played a part in establishing the National Aerospace Library at Farnborough. He remains actively involved in preserving and sharing the area’s aviation heritage.
