Sir – I am researching the history of British airshows in order to produce a book marking the 100th anniversary of the first British event in 1909. I was wondering if any of your readers had recollections they may wish to share and photographs filed away that evoke memories of past airshows?
Attending airshows is just as popular today as it was during the 1920s and 30s and countless young (and young at heart) spectators remain fascinated by the aerial activity each summer.
There must be thousands of unpublished photographs out there just waiting to be shared. Memories and photographs can be sent directly to myself at 45 Hassocks Close, Beeston, Nottingham, NG9 2GH or e-mailed to steve.bridgewater@gmail.com All photographs will be copied and returned.
Stephen Bridgewater, Beeston
