'Biggin Hill Airfield: Beyond the Bump 1' by Joseph J Merchant

Please read this before entering the website.

New book available now by Joseph Merchant.

Part one of the story of what happened at Royal Air Force Station Biggin Hill during its final days as an operational fighter station, the preceding years back to the early 1950's and the post military era.

This historic Battle of Britain fighter station survived where many others were decommissioned to make room for redevelopment. The closure of London's Croydon Airport gave birth to a new generation of both private and commercial pilots on this hallowed ground and created a unique training and social environment that flourished for many years.

This publication seeks to record some of the people and their aircrafts that facilitated this transition together with a celebration of the success of one individual who turned his dreams into reality.

Part two will complete the story of one aviation enthusiast and private pilot.
