HULL'S OWN AIR FORCE STATION by Leonard C Bacon in softback, A4 size. We must add our own thanks that Len completed this history before his untimely death on 23 Aug 2007. It is packed with information about all the units that served at RAF Sutton on Hull until its closure, along with b&photos and diagrams, and is a thoroughly comprehensive study of a time that is still fondly remembered by older Sutton residents.
