Dillows (run by one Mary Dillow) was the definitive Biggin cafe, situated on the 'South Camp' alongside the tin hangar and facing across the apron (with its geenhouse mini tower).
The meeting point for anything aviation happening at Biggin, and frequented by all. Biggin had become the home for civil aviation in 59 when Croydon closed, and apart from 'Surrey and Kent' (formerly Surrey flying club) was soon the base for over a dozen clubs/groups. 'Jock' started the 'Air Fairs' and Biggin was civil flying in the South East. Mary was a widow after her husband tried one loop to many in a Turbulent !!.
Treads do you still have an image of BTC at St Just in the 80's.
