If Captain Henderson wasn't riveting his audience to their seats, he was laughing them out of them - into the aisles!
British travel critic & Cunard passenger
Captain David Henderson is an international airline captain with more than 22,000 hours in the air;
hundreds of hours of boredom punctuated by moments of stark terror.
David trained in the RAF and subsequently worked for British Airways. Latterly he flew for major Middle East and also some Far East airlines. He has flown almost every type of flying machine from paragliders to aerobatic and vintage aeroplanes to Boeing 747s. He has a Master’s degree in modern languages and speaks fluent French and German.
His talks are researched meticulously from a vast memory bank of fact, anecdote and downright lies. This ensures the correct material for each individual audience, a mixture of entertainment, information and behind the scenes knowledge. Captain David Henderson is the perfect after dinner speaker for your event. He is now also a regular speaker on cruise lines P&O and also Royal Caribbean. He recently spoke on P%O’s MS Arvia, filling their 900 seater theatre.
Captain Henderson is one of the men to whom you may have unwittingly entrusted your lives. The very fact that both you, and he, are here, is sure proof that he got things right for most of the time.
TESTIMONIALS:
“Last month I had the pleasure of cruising on Cunard’s ‘Queen Victoria’ on which you were the Guest Speaker. I found your series of talks to be one of the highlights of the voyage.”
Peter Hefler, USAF (Retired)
“His talks were fascinating… he has a great sense of humour. Don’t lose him. He is a jewel of a speaker!”
Letter from passenger to CEO, Carnival Cruise Lines.
“I couldn’t recommend anyone more highly than David. His years as a 747 Captain have provided him with rich pickings for his work as an after dinner speaker. He will royally entertain any audience, soaring above the offerings of most speakers, cruising at an altitude of hilarity that’s rare, and landing his punch lines with 20:20 accuracy. Book him!”
Nici Marx, Broadcaster, Journalist, News Anchor
“So informative and funny, thank you”
Isamu Kiyoshi, Japanese passenger, Queen Victoria
“Ausgezeichnet…toll…wunderbar….Excellent”
German passenger, Queen Victoria
“Although we were on vacation we actually set our state room alarm to make sure we didn’t miss David Henderson’s early morning series of brilliant aviation talks. Perhaps they could have been scheduled for a later time slot, so that we could have come home looking like we’d actually been on holiday?
American Cunard passenger
“We have just received the ratings back from the ship and you scored over 90% from your guest ratings and would love you to return to the ship again. Many thanks for all your efforts on board, everyone was delighted to have you on the ship.”
Anna Goddard, Cunard Head of Entertainment
