I think the ATC were regular visitors to RAF Acklington during the war. Another entry in the record book July 1943 mentions your father. (related to the mention above?) Must have been very interesting for the cadets to see a station at war:
July 6 1943
"At 1800 hours a conference of Section Commanders was held in the S. Ad. O's office to discuss matters relating to the forthcoming ATC Cadet Camp at the Station. The Station Admin Officer presided and F/Lt Aisbitt (ATC Liaison Officer) attended. The chief purpose was to work out an effective programme of instruction by means of the help given by various technical branches."
