Old Farnborough website

OK I'll break the silence!
As an old Farnbrovian I contribute to various other forums about my time at the RAE. I was contacted by the guy who runs this website
www.historicfarnborough.co.uk/
and asked for any photo's/memories about the airfield.
One of the main guys who has documented the RAE's final years is Pete Cooper. He has produced some marvelous books on the subject too.
I'm sure that or friend "Acefreighters" if he is who I think he is will remember him too.

Ah controller, I must be mistaken. The person I thought he was was an aircraft tug driver at the RAE. He was obssed with old piston engine airliners (Not that there is anything wrong with that) and one of the old operators he used to go on about was Acefreighters. When I saw your collegues "Monika" I thought it must be him.

OK.. No, Acefreighters (on here) was a Heathrow ATC Man most of his days, albeit with a deep love of old aeroplanes. You might still hear his dulcet tones if you fly into Lasham..

Cheers..
