Brian Topping continues his “Tales of a Customs Officer” talks and in Part 2, he will draw from his and other officers’ experiences at Heathrow Airport during the 1970s, 80s and 90s.


He will guide you through the background and history of drug smuggling; provide examples of detections and investigations; the skill of officers in maintaining this success; and some amusing anecdotes when things didn’t go quite right for the smugglers. He will present this talk in his usual light-hearted way but will never depart from the seriousness of the work he
and his colleagues undertook.
