Aviation Memorabilia Newsletter

Terry Baker, co-founder of the NetLetter scours the internet for aviation related Trivia and Travel Tips for you, our readers, to peruse.

Reading the NetLetter #1386 and the article about the Croydon airport in the UK brought this memory to Michael Smith who shares this memory -

It was nice to see the article on Croydon. I learnt to fly out of Croydon 1956-57. Flying a DHC-1 Chipmunk. Just a grass field but with a control tower & full communications. I met Douglas Bader there. He was always ready to talk Aviation. He was flying his own aircraft, a Miles Gemini.

Just great to be able to have met such a famous aviator.
