Reader Alan Tolliday got in touch about a photograph we carried in Yesterday Once More last week, showing the ARP rescue squad in York in 1940.

The photograph was one that came from the collection of the late Hugh Murray - and Mr Tolliday, who lives in Haxby, believes his own father William is shown in it, on the back row, third from right.

His father was a maintenance fitter at Rowntree during the war, says Mr Tolliday, himself now a respectable 77 - and the building shown in the background is almost certainly Rowntrees.

During the war, his father sometimes used to go to local airfields to repair British bomber aircraft. And he sometimes took his young son - who was them just a few years old - with him.

Mr Tolliday, who himself went on to become a maintenance manager at Rowntree, vividly remembers seeing in some of the aircraft copies of propaganda leaflets that were to be dropped over Germany. “There were stacks of them,” he says.

We have two more photographs for you from Mr Murray’s collection today. One shows the two aircraft used in the great Yorkshire vs Lancashire air race held in October 1913. The Avro biplane in the foreground was the Lancashire aircraft, while further away is the Blackburn monoplane that represented Yorkshire. Yorkshire won.

And lastly, we have a stunning photograph, also from Mr Murray’s collection, of a very early, flimsy-looking biplane. The legend on the front of this says “Royal Flying Corps first visit to York, 21 February 1919.” We’re not entirely convinced by that date - surely it would have been earlier? But it’s a great photo.
