Used to be owned / run by a chap called Wally Holmes, I think the company was called Heli-Leeds. He was probably one of (if not the first) 206 operator(s) in Yorkshire. The "Leeds Heliport" sign was still standing there alongside the A64 long after the company folded, it also said something like "Saw Mill House".

I believe Wally died some years ago, but he was what is commonly called a "character" - I am sure there are plenty of people with stories about him, probably too scadalous to share..
