Anyone else a member of this ATC Squadron when it was located in the school located within the boundaries of: Thornton Road/Lydiate Road/Litherland Road? I was a member between 1961-63; I think! Flt Lt Derek (Pop) Taylor was the officer in charge, he being that well know maths teacher from Balliol Road Secondary Modern School at that time.

The only two members I can recall were Reggie Marshal from St Johns Road and David Vella from the Litherland Road area.

When I was there, Fred McCann of Sydney Road was a senior member and also the McDermott twins, also of Sydney Rd. Pop Taylor was a teacher in Warwick Bolam when I was there early 60's
The best thing about being over the hill is that now I can have some fun and free-wheel down the other side. LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL.
