Roger Cruickshank is a former Eurofighter Typhoon
pilot who served in the Royal Air Force for 21 years, completing
2 front line tours. He has been deployed operationally all over
the world, including Iraq, Syria and Baltic Air Policing out of
Estonia and Romania. In 2017, he was awarded the Distinguished
Flying Cross in the Operational Honours List for an act of
bravery when he saved the lives of allied soldiers who were
pinned down by Daesh fighters. 


 A former Olympian, he also competed in the 2006 Winter
Olympics Downhill and Super G Alpine Skiing events, though (as
we’ll discover), not without complication. After losing a close
family member to suicide, he has been campaigning towards mental
health awareness for over a decade and, in 2016, wrote a book
called, “Speed of Sound, Sound of Mind”.

Please consider supporting the fantastic charity that Roger now
campaigns for - JET, The 'John Egging Trust' supporting young
people achieve their aspirations. You can also purchase a copy of
Roger's book, 'Speed of Sound, Sound of Mind' at this
