Yorkshire Air
News was published monthly by the West Riding Branch of Air Britain between
April 1965 and December 1974. The West Riding Branch became Air Yorkshire in
January 1975 and continues to this day - see www.airyorkshire.org.uk
The magazine was
printed using Roneo stencils and printing machine and the quality depended on
how well the stencils had been cut by the typewritter.
Printing was onto Foolscape paper, my scanner
unfortunately has a maximum size of A4 and as such many of the scans below may
have been trimmed. If I have cut off any detail please drop me
a line and I will provide the missing text.
