From the Archive – ‘Brab’ on the Wright Brothers

Lord Brabazon of Tara, the first man to hold a Royal Aero Club pilots’ licence and one of the great characters of the first 50 years of powered flight, gives a personal tribute to his contemporaries, Wilbur & Orville Wright. Lord Brabazon of Tara was giving an after-dinner speech at the Royal Aeronautical Society & the Royal Flying Club 50th Anniversary of Flight Dinner, 17 December 1953. The podcast was edited by Eur Ing Mike Stanberry FRAeS and it was digitised thanks to a grant from the Royal Aeronautical Society Foundation.
