And another newbie :)

Hello,

Just checking in: I'm Graeme, living in Hadston and interested in various historical aspects of the area.

My area of expertise is local aviation and I have some bits and pieces on various events that happened in the area and may be able to add to items already mentioned elsewhere on the forum.

I have had pieces published in the past regarding the history of Boulmer Airfield (not the helicopter base) and the Vampire that crashed on the beach at Druridge Bay in May 1951 among other items. However, I've also read with interest some of the other threads and will contribute where I can.

Cheers,

Graeme

Welcome to the Forum, Graeme. Looks like you can make some useful contributions.

A "local aviation" thread is a great idea - do you have any photos to start it with? As an aside, I was trying to find a reference to the Whirlwind that emergency landed on the northside in Amble 1968 ish? as I remember seeing it on the back of a lorry going back to Acklington through Amble.
