WNAS are delighted to welcome Charles Howard-Vyse for our speaker in March. A veteran of the Gulf, serving time on Tornados before moving on to NATO Command, it’s this latter role which he will be speaking on - although possiblities of getting sidetracked are quite high given his background and generally being an all round interesting chap!

Kevin Boardman will be joing us to present his talk on the fascinating and pioneering woman Katherine Johnson, who became so vital to NASA’s space race.
Some of Johnson’s many honours include: The Presidential Medal of Freedom; The Congressional Gold Medal; NASA’s Silver Snoopy Award and is an inductee to both The National Aviation & The National Women’s Halls of Fame. She was also the inspiration behind the 2016 acclaimed blockbuster ‘Hidden Figures’. A truly remarkable woman.
