My only active hobby now is Amateur Radio having recently retired from the voluntary post of Company Secretary to the Board of Trustees of the Yorkshire Air Museum visit their very informative Web Site: Elvington, near York and find out about the Premier Air Museum in the North of England and the annual Elvington Air Spectacular which is held on the three days of the Summer Bank Holiday to raise money for the Museum and the Royal Air Forces Association.
I
used to be very keen on gliding and was a member of the
London Gliding Club. I recently had an aerotow to 2000
feet in a club glider at the York Gliding Centre. The
last aerotows I had were in 1945 at RAF
Elsham-on-the-Wolds in a Horsa Troop Carrying Glider
towed by a Handley Page Halifax Bomber !!

I am a member of the York Radio Club(Amateur) and was Secretary/Treasurer and NewsLetter Editor until I removed to Menwith Hill last year. The Club meets every Thursday night at the Bishopthorpe Social Club, Main Street, Bishopthorpe, York. Club Callsigns are GX1YRC and GX4YRC I am an Associate Member of the darley amateur radio club at Royal Air Force Menwith Hill, which is only half a mile from here. This Club meets on the first Wednesday in every month at Royal Air Force, Menwith Hill. Entry is only by prior arrangement with a Club Officer. Club Callsign is GX0FOS.
The NUTTERDALE NET is a local Harrogate Area FM 2 Metre Net which meets most weekdays from about 1030 a.m. AND 3.30 P.M. You can usually find me nattering to the Nutters on 145.400 MHzs. I can also be usually heard on 80 Metres on a Sunday morning Net between 3.652 and 3.672 MHzs with G4CZV,G0EAA and G0WEA from Kingston upon Hull and G3KAE and G0VBM from the Scarborough Area
I am particularly interested in hearing from old friends and comrades who served in the Air Training Corps during the Second World War, were Royal Navy "Y" Scheme volunteers for the Fleet Air Arm , did their Pilot Aptitude Tests at RAF Bridgnorth in 1946 and became Rating Pilots in the Fleet Air Arm. I am in touch with a few of them, particularly our most illustrious colleague Captain Fred Hefford, OBE, DSC, AFC, RN (Rtd).
Officers in the Training Branch of the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve with whom I served in the 1949 - 1971 period would be particularly welcome to contact me.
Old friends and neighbours in Pinner, Tilehurst, Goring-by-Sea, Ravenshead, Wetherby, Tockwith and Kirk Hammerton would similarly be welcome to get in touch.
CAN YOU HELP ME FIND MY LONG-LOST COUSINS?
I am anxious to contact Carl, Bernita and Olga ELLERTON who lived in the Eldwick, Bingley, West Yorkshire area during the 1940's and 1950's.
Their father was my uncle - Bernard Ellerton who served in the National Fire Service in the Bingley area during the War.
If anyone can give me a lead as to their present whereabouts I would be very pleased to hear from you.
