Do you have any information on Alan Stewart McCracken, a wartime Farnborough TP? If so, please email chairman@etpsa.org.uk and I'll connect you with Carol, Alan's daughter, who is writing a biography on her father. She would love to hear from any members who knew Alan or who have information about him.

YOUR ASSOCIATION NEEDS YOU. We MUST change the committee around. Most of us have been on the committee far too long and that's not good for our Association. I need volunteers to stand for election to the committee in order to move the ETPSA forward. This is especially important in view of the fact that several current committee members are in the process of being posted to new jobs and may be overseas for much of the time, so this is getting urgent. Posts available:
Chairman… Treasurer….Secretary….Membership
This is not an onerous task, but is very rewarding. It is helpful if committee members have access to the internet and live close enough to Boscombe Down to be able to attend committee meetings. Please search your conscience and come forward, by email to me chairman@etpsa.org.uk
