Hi Fugazi, there has been some interest in Bridlington and surrounding area, including as it does Flamborough Head and the FIDO equipped Emergency Landing Field at RAF Carnaby, on another thread re a Bomber Command Memorial site.
A particular tale of heroism concerning 1104 Marine Craft Unit, RAF Bridlington is at:

while info re FIDO and RAF Carnaby is at:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fog_Inv...peration_(FIDO)
Both units had one aim, saving the lives of aircrew in crippled aircraft that either ditched or force landed.
