Mama Wedgy and I went to watch the Flypast at 3pm this afternoon, to mark the 50th Anniversary of the Airport's closure on 30th September 1959. There were actually 11planes that took part (including the 8 Tiger Moths) whereas 12 were originally scheduled. Weather conditions were absolutely perfect. Here are some photos that we took:
The (original) Control Tower at Croydon Airport
I also took a short video:
Also, as the weather was so perfect, we took the opportunity to walk up to the Memorial again and took a couple of pictures in the sun (a bit different to the last time we walked up there!):
Hi matey vgood pics just a heads up after the flypast then all these aircraft made a flypast and mini air display at headcorn in Kent this afternoon. They landed there then some of the Tiger Moths took off later in the day.Really great day along with fantastic weather. I will try to post some pics on here soon.
Thank you all for your kind comments. The planes did actually make three passes over the Control Tower and my video was of their final pass. There is another, longer video on youtube which I have posted below:
