Seventy letters from two RAF Flight Sergeants to my two aunts have been sent to the Experience Centre in Otley.

These are letters from Flt Sergeant Cyril Haggerty to his wife Rosa (Rita) King, and from Flt Sergeant Peter Griffiths to his fiancee Kathleen King.

Most of Cyril's were written from places in the UK, but also from Canada during his training. Peter's letters are mostly from North Africa.

Both men died in the war.
