Brighton Seaside - Airshow & Silver Jubilee in Bromley


Beginning in Brighton, we see Grandma and Grandad on the pier. The beaches are packed and the crowds enjoy fair ground rides and stalls. We see the Mitchells sitting by a beach hut, building sand castles. At Biggin Hill aerodrome we see the aftermath of a tragic accident followed by the airshow itself which features several aircraft from World War II. On a visit to London we see Silver Jubilee decorations, a silver bus and the Horse Guards followed by jolly traders in Bromley.
