Memories of Kenley
As a young resident of Purley, I can remeber going to a B of B display sometime in the late 40,s I remember a sequence by the Belgian airforce with Spitfires plus a Tiger Moth being "stolen" and beating up the chasing authorities with what then could be described as crazy flying.
At around the same time I went up Hayes Lane to view the gliding to find nothing happening except for an open wheeled front engined racing car pounding the perimiter track. The body work was in French racing blue, and I have often wondered whose it was and what kind, Gordini, Lago Talbot? At that time an ERA was even painted blue
