As a slip of a lad, I spent my weekends at Duxford in th edays before it was IWM and before regulation(late 70 early80's)and I have abiding memories of Ormond Hayden-Baillie flying his Shooting star "Black Knight" one or two feet above the wheat that used to grow in the centre of the airfield, and photographers (and me) diving for cover as he flew at us with no intention of pulling up. Also his displays in his Sea Fury, Canadair something or other. Sadly he was killed an accident. His brother also owned a T33but I never saw it fly. What happened to the Hayden-Baillie collection anyone know?
