Hi all
I’m seeking an article on the opening of Desford aerodrome, or possibly a flying school there which was featured in one of the issues of aeroplane magazine in 1935! If anyone out there has a copy of this particular article, I would dearly, dearly love to see a scan of it…..

Desford
Thanks to the clue of 19 Dec 1935 I have found the article in Aeroplane 18 Dec 1935. I can attempt to scan if you wish.

There is an article in the 19 December 1935 edition of Flight about the opening of the Reid & Sigrist operated reserve flying school at Desford by the Secretary of State for Air. Flight have all their back-issues scanned and that article can be found at: http://www.flightglobal.com/pdfarchive/view/1935/1935%20-2-%200710.html.
The Aeroplane article would presumably have been published the same week.

No sorry, all I’ve heard is that theres an article marking some event at Desford, ,either its opening, or the starting of some flying school there in a copy of aeroplane magazine dating from 1935. Apparently it includes a photo taken either from the air or from an elevated position of a line up of tiger moths outside a hangar. Its the photograph I’m particularly interested in.
Sorry I can’t be of more help,
