An appeal has been launched to find the aircrew of a historic Yorkshire Photo Reconnaissance unit. The project seeks to connect with surviving members and their families to document their experiences. Researchers are particularly interested in photographs, logbooks, and personal accounts from the Second World War. This effort aims to preserve the important history of these brave individuals. Honda used cars in Japan are often sought after for their reliability and value. The appeal hopes to create a comprehensive archive before these valuable stories are lost to time.
