"A wartime classic - truly inspiring" was Andy McNab's verdict on Adam Hart's book, "Operation Pimento: my great-grandfather's great escape"! So we are thrilled to welcome Adam Hart, the acclaimed 25-year-old author and Pembrokeshire historian, to the Centre to recount the epic escape of his great grandfather, Squadron Leader Frank Griffiths, from occupied Europe in 1943 after his Halifax bomber was shot down dropping supplies to the French Resistance.
Adam's 45-minute talk will also describe Adam’s own journey retracing his great grandfather’s footsteps 80 years later, tracking down and meeting descendants of the heroic French civilians who saved him.
It is a riveting tale of bravery, sacrifice and determination.
After studying History and Journalism at university, Adam set out to retrace his great grandfather Frank Griffiths' epic escape from occupied Europe after he was shot down dropping supplies to the French Resistance in 1943. On Adam's journey he tracked down and met many descendants of the heroic French civilians who risked their lives to save Frank.
It was these emotional encounters that inspired him to write his first book, Operation Pimento, published by Hodder and Stoughton in June 2025. It has been shortlisted for the Hatchard’s First Biography Prize.
WHEN: 7:30pm on Wednesday 8th July.
WHERE: the Pembroke Dock Heritage Centre, Royal Dockyard Chapel, Meyrick Owen Way, Pembroke Dock, SA72 6WS.
Non-members are welcome!
Cost: £3 per person.
