Pathe film of Queen Mother at Biggin Hill 1949

Biggin Hill Air Fair 1965

Great clip of Neil Williams crashing a Stampe, which he describes in his book ‘Airborne’.

The commentator at the time :-

“He’s taken it behind the hangar……..and he’s left it there”

Actually, there’s another film on there “Dam Busters Remembered At Biggin Hill 1967” that shows a Lancaster at Biggin Hill but the rear gun is damaged. Anyone know what this aircraft is and what had happened to it?

Tony.

Wonderful old Pathe footage – I can spend hours on that website!! Out of interest how many Spits were still serving in the UK in 1949 – and all with RAuxF Squadrons?
