Admin History: Albert Neville Medforth (1924-2007) was a director and founder of the East Yorkshire Aero Company. The East Yorkshire Aero Club Limited was incorporated on 8 May 1959 and its title was amended to East Yorkshire Aero Company. The company was formed with the express object of establishing an operational airfield at Hedon to serve the city of Kingston upon Hull but this was prevented mainly by planning issues after they lost an appeal in 1960. Eventually planning applications were passed for an airfield at Paull. Other company directors included A Medforth senior, Michael Heathcote, A Ramsden and J H 'Ginger' Lacey, the Second World War fighter ace.More information is available at www.airfieldinformationexchange.org
