Bob Comlay was one of only a handful of crew-members who returned for a second voyage with Bill Tilman, earning a level of trust that gives him unique insight into the true character of this self-effacing legend of twentieth century exploration. This illustrated talk will bring to life the real experience of travelling with Tilman. Containing many unpublished photographs and letters, the talk offers a unique opportunity to gain awareness and understanding of this remarkable man based on a friendship that endured until Tilman’s loss at sea in 1977.
