WWII: Relative Events – the Air War

The story of Rudolf’s father – James Raphael Williams, provides the backbone for this presentation, revealing how many West Indians came to join the RAF and how, as a radar fitter, technological advancements changed the face of the air war.

The War proved a foundation for James’s successful career in microwave communications; however, Rudolf also shares remarkable witness accounts of relatives who found themselves at the wrong end of fighter bombers on opposing sides. A very personal reflection pieced together from historical documents.

The evening starts with a delicious hot supper in The Hub Café at 6.30pm.
