First Airshow Remembered
Must have been 1952, just before the demise of the VRs.
Stoughton Aerodrome, Leicester. (Now known as Leicester East or even Leicester Airport.)
The place was crawling with Sea Furies (1833NAS) and Fireflies from RNAS Bramcote, Meteors from 504 (City of Nottingham) Sqdn. based at Wymeswold and a couple of Vampire FB6s (?) from Honiley. There was also an NF11 - don't know where that was from.
The rest of the display was made up of Austers, Chipmunks, a BAC Drone, a Dart Kitten and similar.
Great day for a young kid who'd cycled five miles there for the privilege.
Sleeve Wing. (You can see now what prompted that !!)
