NEWHAVEN A.T.C. UNIT in the 1940's
Photo believed to have been taken at Shoreham Airport
By Sis Parsons, Ginny Smith and Richard Beckett
The photo shows members of the Newhaven ATC (Air Training Corps) including Ken Parsons (aged approx.18), taken circa 1940's and almost certainly at Shoreham Airport. The plane in the background is a "Walrus" seaplane one of which was based at Shoreham and which was used as a backup to the Air Sea Rescue Unit which was located at Newhaven up until the 1960's.
