Beverleys used to arrive an hour after their sound, as did WGAF Dornier 28s, used to occasionally see them droning over here along Green One - think they'd been to Brawdy in connection with troop training.
Fabulous film, odd to think that was all happening 85 years ago, less than a mile from where I'm sitting now. Even closer is a small memorial to the DH-34 crash on Christmas Eve 1924.
The KLM Fokker taking off is passing over what appears to be the Purley Way Lido under construction on the other side of the A23 - what's left of that site is earmarked for housing I believe (the Art Deco diving board is still there and preserved I think!), and Croydon plan to turn much of the industrial area on the airport site into more housing. Thank God the open area of the airport is now common land and can't be built on... I hope.
