Empire Air Navigation School
Am researching the Empire Air Navigation School which was based at Shawbury from Sep 44 - Jul 49. My first port of call is The Nat Archives at Kew to look at the Operations Record Book. But if anyone has any personal information, and in particular photos of EANS Lancaster 'Aries I', Lincolns 'Aries II' and 'Aries III', and Lancaster B1/FE NX676, which they would be willing to share, I would be very interested to hear from them. You can reach me at: [email protected]

If I recall they get a passing mention in Nevil Shute's novel "No Highway" !
I am sure that you will already have Richardson’s Man Is Not Lost but there it is in the unlikely event you haven’t. Schofield and Nesbit’s Arctic Airmen describes some early forays into high latitude navigation. Man may not have been lost but he must have had his fingers crossed.
