Me with Mum & Dad, Farnborough 1951

Me with Mum & Dad at Farnborough, 1951

On our favourite hill overlooking Farnborough airfield in 1951. This was probably the only time my mother accompanied my father and me to an air show. On this spot the following year, several people were killed when John Derry's DH110 disintegrated.  See picture of the aftermath. We weren't there because, to my initial disgust, we were staying with Uncle Eddie. The photo was taken by an RAF man called Ken.
