Old ICAO Location designators
Hi
Has anyone got copies of old UK ICAO 4-letter designators for the UK?
Would be interested to receive any scanned info from 50's to 70's.
Currently looking for the EG.. for Catterick.
Many thanks in advance
40612 carrying hazardous cargo but no WMD!

I probably have got an old book (well, 70s) in the loft, but where . . . . 
I don't remember the pre EG-- series but can remember that Luton use to be EGLN, Elstree EGLE and Duxford EGVD (true!) Sorry, don't remember one for Catterick.
