Hi Sue, There is a Green Lane in Harrogate, now at the top of the Rossett Area of the Town. the Stray is 250Acres of green Grassland in the Centre of Harrogate protected by Royal Charter. As green lane is very close to where the Ministry of Defence was situated (St. georges Road) in harrogate whcih was originally part of the Air Ministry, it is highly possible that there was an Airfield near there. Also ther was an ATC corp based there so again. a possibility. I suspect that there will be plenty of people on list who can accurately confirm this. I worked there from 1980 to 1991 and remember hearing regales from colleagues about an Airfield near the site.

Thanks for the reply, Tracie. However it's definitely Redcar (near Middlesbrough) that is on the death certificate.
