Welcome Christine, any questions you have on Llanbedr or any other airfields please fire away,

Hello Ianbache, Just finding my way around this site. Wondring if you know anything about Thomas Desmond CARTER, (Nick). he was my cousin and I'm led to believe at one time he was Manager of Llanbedr Airfield. Born in 1923 and died in 1967. He lived in house called Ardudwy. If you knew him, please could you let mr know and I can ask a few questions, if that's ok.
Cheers Christine

Hi Christine,
I am sure i can recall that surname in conjunction with the airfield, it may of been in one of Wendy Mills books off the airfield, i am going to see Wendy on Saturday, she worked on the site for many years and is a ex Jindi pilot, she may off known Mr Carter if she was there at the same time. I will ask her if she is at our pool, and will get back to you if that is ok. Wendy has wrote 2 books on the Airfield, "Target Rolling Llanbedr Airfield 1941-2004" and "History of Llanbedr Airfield 1941-2012" very good reading
Regards Ian

Hi PeterS.
I am assuming that you have looked at these sites.

www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2640269
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Tallis_School

But I bet you have not looked at this one. cannot insert a link.
zebicia - Southwark Council Planning Pages.

planningonline.southwark.gov.uk/DocsOnline/.../166620_1.pdf

Enter zebica into google and it should come up top of the page a Pdf doc opens, it is slow to load.
Scroll down until you find a not very clear map
Should be a great interest to you.

ps. hope the weathers good out there, got some rellies out there at Humbug scrub.

Welcome to AiX, PeterS

I'm doing a project on studying the design of the Cessna 172C and I thought it would be a good idea to get a look at one in person. Does anybody know of any around Northumberland?

Thanks.

I think these people have a C172 northumbria-flying-school.co.uk/
