CROYDON AIRPORT 1938

This was shot by my father Ronald Redburn in 1938. His local cine club visited Croydon Airfield. It was that year that the British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain had flown back to there after his meeting with Hitler at Munich. The camera was a Keystone and the film was Kodak 8mm. My father was one of the first 8mm users in the UK. He could get color film at trade price from someone he knew who owned a local shop for the same cost as the same number of minutes of 9.5mm which was the usual armature film stock of the period.
