Sir Bernard Chacksfield - to the best of my knowledge he was County Commissioner for Air Scouts - London. At the same time, Trevor (T.E. ) Scott-Chard was Assistant Commissioner for Air Scouts - London. From memory, "Scotty" was head of publicity B.O.A.C. As an Air Scout, I had my first flight with Scotty from Croydon in 1957 in an Airways Aero DHC-1 Chipmunk. In 1962, I had the honour of being presented with a certificate from "Chacks" for winning the scale model competition with an SE-210 Caravelle of Swissair at the Air Scouts 50th Anniversary camp at Rushmoor Arena, Farnborough. 79.155.156.113 (talk) 07:43, 17 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
