Bovingdon Airfield, Hertfordshire
These photos were taken in the late 1950s, possibly up to 1961, at Bovingdon Airfield in Hertfordshire, which as used by the US and Royal Air Forces and a wide variety of aircraft.
For young plane spotter such as me, it offered an unparalleled close-up view of take offs and landings. The road featured in some of the photos had traffic lights which were set to red when planes were landing!
The photos were taken, I think, on a Brownie 127 camera hence the quality. I'm not sure of the date of the air display featured - it might have been 1960.
I'm very grateful to Jeff Lindsay for his expert help with identifying some of the aircraft.
