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.
