Great site for Dishforth / Pannal Ash PTC photos
My own (Bob Brown) syndicate photo from initial training August - October 1975 at Dishforth, which I hadn't seen for over thirty years.
Found on a Facebook Group named Pannal Ash Dishforth PTC's .....its a closed group.. If you are a Facebook user you will need to answer three questions to be approved to get access to the group.
Loads of photos.
Sgt Howard Hudson from Durham & Sgt Dick Treece from Humberside were the instructors on the course.
Seems like yesterday !!
