I too visited LAP to see the competitors for the England to Australia air race. I remember seeing the Canberra, but always assumed it was an RAF one. There was a Viscount too and I think a Hastings?
Re-the Brabazon. Yes, I saw it…apparently… My mother says I was being pushed in a pram when it approached LAP from the Hayes direction.
Moving on a bit. Who else saw the Rotodyne land at Fairey’s at Hayes? I did!
