ONE of the most decorated pilots in the British armed forces will be visiting Wirral to discuss his new book.

Nathan Gray, from Stoke-on-Trent, is an experienced high-risk Test Pilot and Fighter Pilot, flying with the Fleet Air Arm for over two decades, flying various aircraft including the Harrier, F-15, F-16, F-18, and F-35.

His stellar career has taken him from the Californian coast of the United States to war zones in the Middle East.

Nathan was part of the ground-breaking F-35 development program and conducted the first-ever F-35 launch and recovery on the Queen Elizabeth Class aircraft carriers. He has also qualified as a commando green beret, paratrooper, and forward air controller.

Nathan will be coming to Wirral to chat about his book, Hazard Spectrum. There will be a Q&A and Meet and Greet at the event.

Hazard Spectrum tells the story of how he got in the position he is now in, discussing his graduation from student to teacher, from the iconic Sea Harrier – flying ops in Helmand Province and going in pursuit of Osama Bin Laden – to the cutting-edge Stealth Fighter of the future.

Nathan will be visiting Linghams book shop in Heswall on Monday, June 5 at 7pm.
