The Raymond F.Baxter OBE Archive 2/3 years ago I was able to purchase part of the archived collection assembled by Raymond Baxter, well know to many as a television presenter and writer. He is best known for being the first presenter of BBC TV's Tomorrow's World, continuing for 12 years, from 1965 to 1977. He also gave radio commentary at the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II, the funerals of King George VI, Winston Churchill and Lord Mountbatten of Burma, and the first flight of Concorde. Many people will remember him as a staunch supporter of The Red Arrows and will have heard his Air Show commentaries on RAF Airfields throughout the UK. What is, perhaps, lesser known about him is that he was a wartime RAF officer, a Spitfire pilot in the 1940s who participated in many operational sorties over occupied Europe, being twice Mentioned in Dispatches. The items which comprise this section of his archive originate mainly from his post-war activities in the field of aviation which he lived and loved.
