Ken Aedy was born on 29 May 1924; he joined the RAF in 1942 aged eighteen, and enjoyed more than thirty years in service, personally experiencing the astonishing trajectory and rapid technological development from biplanes to fast jets, having flown everything from a Tiger Moth to a Javelin during his time in the RAF. He retired in 1973, partly due to ill-health. He worked for the NHS for the remainder of his career. Ken loved to fly, was devoted to the RAF and to public service.
