Join us for an instructive talk by Jim Nicolson, as he shares the story of his Uncle, Wing Commander James Brindley Nicolson, VC, DFC. This fascinating talk was first broadcast in September 2020 from the RAF Museum, London, in front of our Battle of Britain Fighter Four.

Wing Commander James Brindley Nicolson was a Battle of Britain fighter pilot who received the highest honour by being awarded the Victoria Cross. He is the only recipient in RAF Fighter Command to have this honour.

His Nephew, Jim takes you through his career, from his early service to his final months serving in the Far East. He will also look at the debate that surrounded the award of the Victoria Cross, and how it affected his wartime service.
