Description
In the book 'Royal Navy Cold War Buccaneer Pilot', author Simon Kershaw helps us relive the story of his father Steve Kershaw flying the mighty Buccaneer in Fleet Air Arm service.    Much of the tale comes from Steve’s own notes and memoirs, then picked up by Simon’s analysis of his final flight.    In the sobering finale we discuss Steve’s final flight and how Simon was able to piece together the hours, minutes and seconds both before and after the accident.   Simon Kershaw joins us to help rekindle the story of his father’s adventures.  Recorded 20th June 2023 Buy ‘Royal Navy Cold War Buccaneer Pilot’ at the Xtended Bookshop https://uk.bookshop.org/a/11161/9781399040129   Link Tree https://linktr.ee/aviationxtended Contact Us: [email protected] Simon Kershaw  Web https://www.pen-and-sword.co.uk/A-Royal-Navy-Cold-War-Buccaneer-Pilot-Hardback/p/22544   Aviation Xtended Partners • Royal Aeronautical Society https://www.aerosociety.com/• Global Aviation Resource http://www.globalaviationresource.com/v2/• XTPMedia https://www.xtpmedia.co.uk/• Ellie Carter https://twitter.com/dragongirl94 Show Supporters • The Aviation Historian http://www.theaviationhistorian.com/• Wings Over New Zealand Show http://cambridgeairforce.org.nz/WONZ_Show.html• Aviation Enthusiasts Book Club https://www.facebook.com/groups/359410134220076• Aircrew Book Review http://aircrewbookreview.blogspot.com/ You can shop through this Amazon link (No cost to you but a small benefit to us):• https://www.amazon.co.uk/?tag=xtenaeroradi-21&linkCode=ur1 For Aviation and Aerospace Podcasts join https://www.facebook.com/groups/FlightAudioandVideo/
