Trying to find newspaper clip of an aircraft.?

Question

In the 1940's there was an aircraft (possibly British military) named 'Doris of York' which was shown in The Yorkshire Evening Press at that time. I have tried the public library microfiche for information without any luck. I thought it was only the US military aircrafts that carried the name of a loved one. The Husband of Doris as far as I know was never a pilot but was in the RAF.

Does anyone know how I can trace information on this aircraft and the photograph that went with it. I'm afraid I cannot pinpoint the exact year therefore, a lot of microfiche information has been waded through over many weekends and still no luck.

Answer 2

Have you tried the RAF Museum?

They carry extensive archives and have a web site.

Answer 3

You could write to the museum at Hendon. I am sure they are dedicated enough to give it a go.
