Flt.Sgt. Thomas Andrew Sutton
Royal Air Force 16 Ferry Unit, RAF Transport Command
from:Scarborough
My father, Andy Sutton, was stationed here for training prior to being sent to the Far East for operations against Japan. He mentioned the drop off at the end of the runway and how this important to practice ready for short runways. In the end he did not need to go the Far East as VJ Day arrived. However, in his free time, he went to Exeter and there he met the love of his life, my mother, and they married in January 1948.
