Barnstorming
The Cornwall Aviation Company was a typical 'Barnstorming' outfit that had its own ground transport.
It not only operated on its own at 'fields' around the country but also took part in the Cobham displays.
Its owner/pilot; one Capt P Phillips flew the Avro 504, and would provide both 'joy flights' plus aerobatic displays and wing walking.
Decades later the Tiger Club at Redhill operated a complete Air Show service with the backing of the famous Rollason Van. This mighty machine was also used as the flour bombing target at shows and was soundly 'thumped' by a low flying Turbulent that left it undercarriage embedded in its side !!!
