Some good shots of Hurricanes as well, but they don't get a mention - as usual!

Funny, the first picture of this video was a "Hurricane"!

[@Dayborne]

Fun fact, Kenley was theone of the main 3 fighter stations in London in ww2, not to bad for a small suburban town.

[@freemenofengland2880]

Absolutely amazing footage. This was just before the German air raid which destroyed several hangers. Wasn't this also the airfield depicted in Angels One-Five?
