Great photos from the days when the UK's Armed Forces had a decent number of personnel, aircraft and aerodromes.......
I was once at Biggin for a few months and we moved a filing cabinet in OC GD's office. It can't have been moved very often, for out from behind it fell a piece of yellowing old foolscap which was a copy of the notes of a Flight Safety meeting of about 1955! It included gems such as 'Airmen are not to use the wings of taxying Meteors for personal transportation around the aerodrome', a terse note reminding pilots that the minimum altitude of 50 (fifty) ft agl was to be strictly observed in the low flying area - and a comment that Biggin Hill was one of the 34 stations in Home Command in the south of England which would be holding a Battle of Britain At Home Day that year!
Those really were the days!
