If it helps a W.C.J. Easterbrook, Bob to those that knew him, was Airport Director at Luton Airport from 1980 to 1986. To the best of my knowledge he had been an ATCO at Luton post war and had moved into management, I think, in the 60s. I don't really know his previous history.A nice guy and easy to work with. Sadly passed away about 6 years ago .

As tail wheel states "Tried Google". A couple of minutes Goggling produced the following:-

Could you be referring to Flight Lieutenant W J (Bill) Easterbrook who was born on 14 Aug 20, commissioned in the RAF in 1951 and retired in 1967 - I think possibly from RAF Mountbatten (which is where I last saw him in the Spring of '66).

Bill flew helicopters at some stage in his career

Hempseed, can you tell us your interest in this chap as it might help if we know the reason for your interest. Is it that he served at some place, did something interesting connected with this person who gave you the name or still owes you ten bob from 60 years ago!
