Interesting Links
There are thousands of web sites out there that have some interest in the 102 Sqn, some of them are listed here, but be warned, ten minutes can turn into an hour, which can turn.... you get the picture.
Pocklington Airfield:
Is now run and kep by the Wolds Gliding club. The people who run the club have been very welcoming and generous over the years when it comes to the 102 Squadron and Association.
Please do check out their web site, and if you are planning a visit to the memorial, do give them a phone first just to let them know you are coming.
They also have a bunch of stuff on their walls concerning the Squadron, but again PLEASE ask before just walking into the club house to view.
