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.

Whether recounting the days of the RAF School of Fire-Fighting and Rescue, or of the wartime balloon barrage crews, it is a fascinating read and sales financed the placing of the Blue Plaque commemorating the RAF station in Bransholme Library.

SUTTON on HULL

portrait of a village
a 50-minute DVD about
the history of the village,
and last available on
VHS two or three years ago,
it was re-issued on DVD.

It is worth mentioning that
the picture quality
is superb .. better than
the video was.

A Sad Announcement
Further to the above, it is with great sadness that I have to report the death of my good friend and film-maker who made the Sutton video, Mr Robin Walters, and who owned The Dovedale Studio in the Louis Pearlman Centre.

Aged not quite 60, Rob passed away after a massive heart attack on Saturday, 3rd February, 2008.




The future of this DVD
is in serious doubt,
because of Rob's death ...
