Alastair Walton is the eldest grandson of W/Cdr Roland “Bee” Beamont, one of the most influential figures in global aviation.
By the time he had retired from active flying in 1968, “Bee” had test flown 167 different types of aircraft, on some 8,000 flights.
More than 1,100 of those were supersonic.
In a presentation first shared with the members of the RAF Club in Mayfair last year, Alastair will share with us personal memories and family anecdotes of his grandfather, along with unseen footage of his extraordinary career.
Plus, there will be a surprise guest!
