We got out with no problem. We where parked in the meadow car park. In the morning it took us about 20 minutes to get through the traffic.

25 Kirby Kite 1’s where built. Of which 8 survive, one with out wings. The design used many Gruanau Baby 2 fittings. About 15 Kites where used at Ringway then to Haddenham. One Kite was built for the RDF(Radar) trials at Christchurch in 1940. This had cable runs replaced by oak push pull rods.The Camouflaged Kite BGA 400 at Old Warden yesterday has only the wings of the radar Kite. The rest of this Kite was lost during the war. BGA 400 was restored by my father and myself in the late 1980’s early 90’s. I was there yesterday to help rig and derig the Kite. Which is now owned by a group at Haddenham. I have the prototype Kite and the original BGA 310.

In Robert Kirbys book it tells how my fathers cousin J.B.Underwood brought back a Manchester on one engine from Holland. Sadly Jack and his crew where lost on the only Lancaster to go down on the 1,000 bomber raid on Cologne 1942.
