THUM Flight PR.XIX
I'm searching for photographs, other than those already published in Aldon Ferguson's book on Woodvale, of the Spitfire PR.XIXs during their service with the Temperature & Humidity Flight (THUM) early to late '50s.
Any help gratefully appreciated!

There was a lass in ATC at Liverpool in the 1970's whose father was on the THUM flights - John Formby.
Last I heard of Pat she was up at Edinburgh ATC but that was some time ago..

Hi
All I can remember of that is that the Ex Chief PRO (ALAN) of Liverpool was a member of that unit and when they had a reunion of some sort at RAF WOODVALE a Griffon Engined SPIT from this unit that is now with the BBMF was there and did a superb T/O and Display over the Airfield.

Apologies for the slow reply..
Yes, Pat was an ATCO at Edinburgh but that was back in the 1970's.. I lost touch with her but maybe someone in the Air Traffic forum may point you in the right direction.
