Falmouth Branch

Ninety members and friends of Falmouth Branch gathered at the Falmouth Beach Hotel for a lunch to mark the 100th anniversary of Naval Aviation. Guest of Honour was Cdr Ian Fitter, recently appointed Commander (Air) at RNAS Culdrose. In an entertaining and informative after-lunch speech, Cdr Fitter gave some interesting historical detail, including the fact that the Royal Flying Corps was first formed in Sheerness. By coincidence, our Branch Vice President, Ted Turvey, now aged 92, was born in Sheerness that same year!
Following his speech, Branch Chairman Mike Stevens gave a resume of Ted's naval career, including the fact that he was present off the River Plate when the German battleship Graf Spee was scuttled. Mike then invited Cdr Fitter to present Ted with his Certificate of Life Membership of the Royal Naval Association, for services to Falmouth Branch since it was re-formed in 1982.
