Anyone from Prestwick ATC here?

Apologies, one final request. As you may know from previous posts we are trying to get our old UK ATC course together for a 50 years since graduation get together. To date we have accounted for 23 out of 24.

Our "missing man" is Pete Young, last heard of at EGPK. If there is anyone from PK (or anywhere else for that matter) who may know of Pete, could you please let me know?

Thanks

Don't know about EGPK, but there was a Pete Young at EGGX. Could that be the one you're looking for?

Thanks, that could well be him. Would you have any contact details for him?

Thanks

I'll post here so all will know your quest continues...

Unfortunately, my one possible Shanwick source from way-back-when was unable to help.

Fingers crossed another Ppruner will come up trumps.

Good luck

Many thanks, that could well be him! I'm now doing battle with linked-in to let me message him, linked in is winning.

I'll let you know if I have any luck!!

Pete trained me in Oceanic in the early 90s (great instructor !) and obvs retired quite a while ago. Last I heard he was still living in Prestwick but that was clearly a decade or more ago.

I remember where Pete lived but a quick search of his name and address only uncovered some photos of his house and memories from the family who sold his house to him. I'll ask some from colleagues (I left NATS a year or so ago) and see who may know and if I find anything I'll DM you.
