Bosses at Leeds Bradford Airport are trying to track down a mystery Miss after unearthing an old photograph.
They are hoping Miss Leeds Bradford Airport (LBA) can become their guest of honour at a special exhibition to help celebrate their 80th anniversary.
The photograph was discovered during preparations for a month-long exhibition of the Yeadon airport’s history and memorabilia at the Leeds Lending Library (LCC) in March.
The picture dates from the 1960s and Tony Hallwood, LBA’s commercial director, said if Miss LBA can be tracked down, she would be more than welcome at the exhibitions.
“Our heritage is closely linked with the local community and we would be delighted to hear from anyone who has any memorabilia be it from passengers of staff,” he said..
“We are very excited to be able to come together to celebrate and share memories of the airport’s past, it would be a real coo if we could find Miss Leeds Bradford Airport. ”
Ken Cothliff, local aviation historian, author and display commentator, said: “It appears there were not many Miss LBAs but we would love to find this one. She would be a fitting guest of honour.”
