Presentations

Our speaker will be Tim Speed, a volunteer with the Canadian Warplanes Heritage Museum in Hamilton. Tim’s presentation is entitled, “Stories of Courage.” It includes stories of heroism of Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) members which is particularly appropriate since this year, 2024, marks the 84th anniversary of the Battle of Britain and the 80th anniversary of D-Day. During WWII there were many individual acts of heroism. Tim’s presentation will feature the story of four individuals whose heroic actions under the pressures of wartime battles saved the lives of others. Three were Canadian, one was a woman. Two gave their lives and two survived the Second World War.
