Alex was born in Bembridge, on the Isle of Wight, and his father was co-designer of the Britten-Norman Islander.
de Havilland, is one of the most famous names from the 'Golden Age' of British aircraft design and manufacture, and not least for the
classic Moth designs of the 1920's and 30's.
Alex, a keen private pilot himself, will talk about the background to the Moth and about the galaxy of extraordinary individuals who
went on to make the aeroplane famous.
