I missed the 1980 one (at boarding school) but made the later one in '88 - Ray Hanna bringing the Spitfire down the B axis between a block of flats on Roundshaw and a factory chimney, some one's roll inverted on take off in a Pitts being slightly lower than intended and Brendan's run in with the local Rozzers (someone's stealing one of our aircraft!)... yes, there really were two Spitfires on Croydon's hallowed turf again 30 years after it closed, MH434 and maybe Pat Lindsay's Mk1. Can't remember now...
