John Henry Smythe OBE

To promote the Museum of London’s The Krios of Sierra Leone, I was lucky enough to interview and film the wonderful Eddy, son of John Henry Smythe OBE - World War II navigator, Windrush officer and QC.

His father was an exceptional man, and the story includes a potentially miraculous twist of fate at the end.

We released the video on Armistice Day, reaching 250,000 people, with someone even wanting to write a book/make a film about John’s life!
