ATA Thame WW11

I am seeking anyone who flew with the ATA unit at Thame, or may have details/photos of such pilots during WW11 — pictures of the base at that time would be very much appreciated
My thanks in anticipation

Do you know of the existence at Haddenham/Thame of Aircon Ltd?
These folk used to manufacture standard cabins to house the RAF’s (and maybe others?) radio equipment.
A 6 foot cube cabin (all properly insulated – both electrically and against the atmosphere) could house a wide variety of the RAF’s tactical radio eqpt. The ex-members of the RAF Tac Comms Wing (TCW) will, no doubt remember the various TGRI(AT) – Tactical Ground Radio Installation (Air Transportable) – cabins that housed all sorts of Tx and Rx equipments – including the Met Sect!
If anyone (unlikely!) requires any further details then just shout!

Peter Chamberlain who was a member of The Upward Bound Trust at Haddenhan ( RAF Thame ) wrote a small book on the history of Haddenham airfield. I see he is still looking for information in the Aeroplane Monthly.
