This I think was the crash in which Bill Bateson was killed. When I first met him he was CFI of Blackpool and Fylde Aero Club which in those days was owned and operated by Air Navigation & Trading. At some point and for reasons unknown to me he became owner of Blackpool and Fylde Aero Club and Air Navigation and Trading established ANT Flying Club as a separate operation which continues to this day.
