Biggin Hill station was born in the days of the Royal Flying Corps and was operational from 1917 to 1939. In the last days of the Great War, there were many casualties as well as loss of life; in fact the first aviator to die crashed in the valley to the west of the airfield, the first of many tragedies. Some years after the war, Biggin Hill welcomed members of the celebrated No. 56 Squadron. They came from the Western Front. Nos. 32 and 23 Squadrons followed in the 1930s. Item #2573
