Some time ago on the xsorbit site the producers of a future television series for BBC 4 contacted nwanforum looking for those with memories of the Airport in the Thirties and Fifties.
My father was one a number of people interviewed and recently received a letter from Georgia Moseley, the series producer.
"Dear David,

This series will be all the richer for your contribution and we are avery grateful to you for taking the time to talk to us. It is really appreciated. You feature in the first episode which will transmit on Monday 15th June.
