Ep.178 – Royal Navy Cold War Buccaneer pilot

Listen to this episode now

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.
