Speaker: Tim Miles AFC

Tim was in the RAF as a navigator for 16 years having flown in Javelins, Sea vixens and Phantoms.

After completing the Aerosystems course he flew with the USN on the UK Skyflash programme.

Leaving the RAF in 1980 he spent a brief time in the defence industry before joining Llanbedr (a Boscombe Down subsidiary) as a controller in 1990 and progressed to become Chief Controller in 1996.

His talk will cover the training for and operating of the Jindivik target drone from the airfield.
