Many thanks for the various comments and advice. I'm familiar with all of the published material but there are still gaps to my mind. Things for me to think about are:-

- changes to the runway/taxy way layouts
- new hangars and who used them over the years
- there's still a lot of Vickers/BAC material that hasn't emerged, especially re; the Varsity and Viscount.
- I've seen precious little on the BOAC development unit
- I've seen nothing on the CAA flying unit that used to fly around for the benefit of the College of ATC
- There must be stories and anecdotes out there with ex-workers, locals etc.

and most critically the photos.

It would be a labour of love, not a profit-making venturem, so yes I do hope to scrounge a few photos from fellow minded enthusiasts!

Amos Keeto: We must meet up sometime and have the first consultative meeting at a suitable pub! What was/is your connection with Hurn?
