Hendon display

I've added a scan of an admission ticket to the Hendon Display of 1937. Two shillings and six pence - a lot of money in those days.

One year 29 Squadron took part and in rehearsals of formation aerobatics two aircraft collided and one fell to earth on the airfield. Dad was first on the scene and the pilot was his flight commander. Dad said that he looked at dad, smiled in recognition and died. Does anyone know anything about this? I think it happened at RAF North Weald.

Kind regards

Adrian
