Afternoon talk by Charles ParkerAbout this Event
Royal Air Force Digby opened in 1918 and has been in continuous use ever since. In the late 1930s it was developed as a Fighter Sector station, a role that continued throughout the war. The Sector Operations Room has recently been restored to represent its layout at the start of the war and this talk looks at the history of the station and how it contributed to the air defence of eastern England 1936 – 1945.
Charles Parker has had an interest in aviation since he was young. He joined the Royal Observer Corps in the 1960s and served until the Stand Down in 1991. As part of this, he taught aircraft recognition and successfully took part in competitions for over 40 years. He is a volunteer guide at the Sector Operations Room museum at RAF Digby.
