Hello
I’m trying to locate any descendants of Lord Trenchard. Does anyone know where to look? I’m updating my RAF Driffield website and I’m trying to find out if he visited the site?
Regards
Phillip Rhodes

It’s the 3rd already.
Look here http://www.thepeerage.com/p8129.htm#i81287

Should be able to get his office email via the information office of the House of Lords.

Phillip,
I suggest you have a look in ‘Who’s Who’. As far as I’m aware, the second Viscount (MRAF Trenchard’s son) is still with us, and being a member of the peerage, he’s likely to have an entry in there.
Also, it might be worth checking with the archive section at the RAF Museum. They may be able to help with your enquiry, as they have Trenchard’s papers. These may well (it’s been some time since I looked at them, and I was concetrating on the WW1 stuff) contain details of places he visited either when he was CAS, or during World War II when he went around visiting stations, squadrons, etc.
