Great! Nice to see the old place when it was being used properly! No signs of anyone playing pongoes in cabbage kit, no 'mission statements', no hi-viz waistcoats....

Some interesting period shots of 56(F) in the troubled days of the Swift - and so may different aircraft types - Chipmunk, Anson, Balliol, Swift, Hunter, Meteor, Vampire - probably others too. All RAF owned and operated, no contractorised nonsense....

'D' wing had still to be built, I see. Not much had changed at the SBLs some 13 years later, but at least we didn't have to make up bed packs!

That low flying looked very low indeed. But wasn't 50 ft a.g.l. the limit in LFAs back then?
