Friends of St Edward’s 10th Anniversary Reception Wednesday 4th July, 7.00pm, The North Wall This important milestone in the life of the Friends of St Edward’s is celebrated against the backdrop of the exhibition The Dambusters and Beyond . Marking the 100th anniversary of the RAF, the show highlights the daring exploits of a number of exceptional individuals, many of whom were educated at Teddies. These included Guy Gibson, leader

of the Dambusters Raid, legendary flying ace, Douglas Bader, aviation pioneer Geoffrey de Havilland, and celebrated aviators Louis Strange and Adrian Warburton. From the earliest days of flying, across two bitter global conflicts, right through to the Jet Age, former pupils have been part of the story and have shaped British history.
