I've found one poster on FC Redherc 64 but I think he's in the forces and posted abroad at the mo.
Sorry about that, If I find anything I'll let you know.

I lived there for a while too. Athersley, Dodworth, Worsborough, Blacker Hill, all the best places :D
Best night out in Britain and we went out every night. I had to move :D

Any way for the scanner. I have (and you should be able to get) Donny and Humberside Airports. They are good for having a bit going on, when nothing else is happening. DSA gets some RAF types in and Humberside has a few unusuall things like the Spit and JP.
I guess you have all the bases, London Mil etc.
