Goudie has it
Hatfield it is on the occasion of first display to be held by the Royal Air Force Reserve Flying Club.
The aircraft flying by is G-ACDP the Saro Cutty Sark of A.S.T. (Air Service Training) from Hamble. This aircraft remained in service used by No 3 E & RFTS until 1942.
not the prettiest of aircraft IMHO.
The First Flight of SARO "Cutty Sark" can be found here:
YouTube - SARO Cutty Sark first flight
The John Williams clue is that he wrote the music for Spielberg's film "Saving Private Ryan" ("Hymn to the Fallen") and Hatfield featured in the film because it was where the ruins of the fictional French town of Ramelle were created and used as location shots for the film.
Over to you Goudie

Davidsoffice, you've mentioned everything but the name of the airfield but you're absolutely right it was a great show with all the aircraft you mention. I was a young cpl/tech on 617 sqdn at the time and took this pic seconds before the Skyblazers came screaming over. No prizes though for which aircraft stole the show.
PS. How do you know all that?
Ah! just found the website with all the info. Seems it was Sept. '58 not '59

Isn't Google wonderful. I used to spend hours in the library or looking through the books I had but now a couple of key strokes and you get the information. Anyway, another I have scanned....
