A bygone age sadly, those who were lucky enough to have witnessed such displays, or even to have taken part must look at today's risk averse climate and wonder where it all went wrong
Too true - witness these screen grabs from my 8mm cine film of Neville Browning inverted in his Zlin G-ASIM at a Battle of Britain display at Biggin Hill which I estimate I shot in the early to mid 1960's (I bought my cine camera in 1960).
Neville Browning in his Zlin Treiner approaches inverted
Passing overhead along the crowd line - my guess is that he is 20 - 30ft above the crowd!
Still inverted
Climbing away
Apologies for the quality but cine-film screen grabs are no match when compared to still camera photos
