Post-closure fly-ins
AFAIK there were two in 1980 and 1988....later ones (eg for the 50th anniversary of closure) were scuppered by the authorities
see in another learned place:
Croydon Airport 50th Anniversary Flypast

and with the help of our friends Google and Flickr and YouTube

1988

EDIT...the link to James Kightly's blog about the Spitfire at the Croydon 1988 airshow won't link ...Image Googling 'Croydon Airport 1988' brings up the pic [mixed with images of the Croydon goddess Kate Moss :-)]
