During HMS CAVALIER’s 80th birthday month, join former Royal Navy Lieutenant and Diving Officer David Hews for an in-conversation style talk with our Interpretation Officer, Paul Wright.

Born and raised in Canterbury, David attended Kings School and entered BRNC Dartmouth in 1967. He served in the Royal Navy for 10 years, spending time on Chatham based ships including HMS KENT and HMS LLANDAFF. In 1973-74, he spent time in the NATO squadron and also commanding a patrol boat in Northern Ireland. David then went on to join the RNR London Division, while working in the newspaper business and then financial services.
