In December 1981 former RAF pilot Sir Douglas Bader visited Imperial College Bookshop to promote and sign copies of a new publication. The book was called Flying Colours and was written by Laddie Lucas. Sir Douglas took part in the Battle of Britain, was imprisoned at Colditz Castle and his life was chronicled in the film Reach for the Sky. Surrounded by copies of the book, STOIC’s Lawerence Windley managed to get a few words with him.
Within a year of this video, in September 1982, he had died.
