Discover more about the Order of St John, St John Ambulance and the history of Clerkenwell at our free Ten-Minute Talk and Tea events which takes place on the second Thursday of every month. Tea and biscuits will be provided.
In this talk, Archivist Sophie Denman explores the St John Ambulance Airwing, a special volunteer air service for the rapid transportation of human organs, urgent medical supplies, and patients. Find out why the Airwing was created and reached the dizzying heights of its success, and hear about some of the volunteers’ successful missions.
This is a free event. Drop-ins welcome, or you can pre-register here. The event will take place in the Museum Galleries which are on ground level with step-free access throughout.
