Project Keepsake – 2016 Sqn History Project
What is Project Keepsake?
For the 75th Anniversary year of the Air Training Corps and 470 (Falkirk) Squadron we have set ourselves the task of documenting and archiving the history of 470 Squadron.
Our Objective
To research the history of the Squadron and digitise all the materials made available to us. A special section of our website will be permanently dedicated to the historical archive so that interested parties can review the most comprehensive account of 470 Squadron ever created.
What we need
The Squadron is interested in the following:
Photographs – Originals or scans, especially ones which list names of subjects.
Specific Subjects of Interest:
- Official photographs of the early Commanding Officers and other staff.
- Headquarters which we used over the years.
- Newspaper Clippings
Significant Events – Stories or accounts of important events and your personal involvement such the many shooting successes and the movement between headquarters over the years.
ATC memorabilia – Specifically from the days of the battle dress of the 50’s and 60’s, embroidered badges from the era and other paraphernalia.
The cadets and staff will be building an online resource from the material we already have and we are appealing to anyone with past connections to the Squadron to assist.
