As ARG secretary I have been in correspondence with Hille Oppedijk from the Dutch Airwar Studygroup 1939-1945. part of his email is below:

Dear Sir,

I would like to react and give the Airfield Research Group Members some help,concerning your site. During surfing on the internet concerning a RAF Airfield Callsign question I do have found the same difficulties as some of your members.
I would like to give some help for the site,, All Dromes Had Two Names''

First One question to you and your members; Could you help me to confirm that RAF Elvington has also used STOPCAP as R/T Callsign,together with FARMWORK?
At You Tube I saw black and white shots of Halifaxes shot I think at Elvington from the original shots from the B-III's from the No 346-347 sqn,out of a documentary from these Halifax sqn's .
I think it was made in late 1944,with the original R/T and cockpit checks, in normal English.
Just before take off they had contact for clearance with (RAF Elvington) Tower the ATC Controller used STOPCAP.
The RWY in use was 26,after departure contact Approach VHF 123.54
RAF Elvington did have a RWY 08-26 .
My archive says STOPCAP is R/T callsign for RAF Linton on Ouse (maby wrong ?)

Hille provides the following which duplicates some in the original audit but also identifies others. If anyone can help Hille with his question please contact myself and I will forward.
