This Blue Badge is situated in the grounds of Heyhouses School, St Annes. The website is pretty informative but does not carry any information about these 2 gentlemen.
There is a brief biography here on Wikipedia on "Jack" W Alcock. Arthur Brown's biography is also here on Wikipedia. Both bio's are definately worth reading, if only for the possible clash of interest in the primary school of Alcock.
Recently "found" a photo of of the pilots scanned and published below.
