The Mustang was certainly used as one of the camera ships. The other was an Aztec. It was certainly an experience being both my first event at Biggin Hill, and the most Hurricanes and Spitfires at an event that I've volunteered at. I'm still trying to get through the photos that I took on the day.
Downe Hurricane
CoFFS When you were in Downe it is only a couple of hundred yards from where i located a Hurricane wreck in 1964. The engine/prop hub and large amounts of bits were still around then but it eventually got 'discovered' in the 70's and its all gone.**
Unknown to me at the time it was Tom Gleaves machine from 253 at Kenley and lost on 31 August 1940.
**Not quite all gone as the engine is now in the BoB hangar at Duxford,and one of the browning gun feeds is on my desk with a 'Kenley' brick ! PP
