LAWRENCE OF ARABIA IN BRIDLING

The man known as Lawrence of Arabia, later Aircraftman T.E. Shaw, came to Bridlington in the 1930s to test armoured target boats as part of his RAF career until his retirement in 1935. This was the introduction of high speed tenders which led eventually to the Air Sea Rescue we know today. The book gives an insight to his time here through local newspaper articles and his letter writing as well as showing some of the places he stayed and worked in.
