Book Signing by Tom Wingham

On Friday 3rd July at 2pm Tom Wingham, the secretary of 102 Squadron RAF who flew Halifax bombers from Pocklington in WWII is coming to Pocklington and will be signing copies of his latest book Halifax Down! which tells the story of his life in the RAF and being shot down in enemy territory.

On the night of 22/23rd April 1944 Tom Wingham was the bomb aimer in the crew of a 76 Squadron Halifax shot down while on the way to bomb Düsseldorf. Coming to in a tangle of parachute and harness straps he realised the precariousness of his situation and so, dazed and aching with a painful concussion and navigating by the stars alone, he quickly set off on his long and difficult journey home through occupied territory, constantly depending on the kindness of others who risked their lives to help keep him hidden.
