Raf Dishforth
A Memory of Skelton on Ure.
My brother was stationed here during his National Service. I was 9 years old in 1953 and I remember very vividly writing letters to him and receiving the same from him. He thoroughly enjoyed his time there. He was also able, when he got a 48 hour pass, to get a lift home with a potato merchant, who had a depot in Thirsk, and one in Motherwell where we stayed. All Bill had to do was phone them and they would pick him up at RAF Dishforth and drop him off at our house and repeat the journey on the way back. If there are any aircraftsmen still living from that time feel free to contact me.
