Don't miss visiting the memorial to John Derry, who broke a record flying a Vampire to Cannes or Nice in about 1950. You should find it in the garden outside the terminal building. John gave his name to the Derry turn, a particular aerobatic figure, and was sadly killed in the breakup of the DH110 during the Farnborough air show in 1952, together with Tony Richards.
