Captain Brian Greeves
Brian studied Engineering Science at Exeter from 1969 to 1972 through the Royal Air Force University Scheme following one year of flight cadet training at the RAF College, Cranwell.
Brian attended the Vice-Chancellor’s 2024 reception in Sydney. Almost unanimously, the Alumni remembered the enjoyment of being students at Exeter.
“My time at Exeter was one of the best three years of my life. I participated fully by joining various societies, coxing the first eight, flying at Filton Airfield, socialising, and making friends, who I still see when I return to the UK and when they visit Australia. If, like me, you have benefited from your Exeter experience, please consider joining me as a Leader.”
