Biggin Hill, London Ghosts [View all]

Spitfire base in WW2, Battle of Britain.

Actual commentary from veteran survivors.

Beautiful and poignant.

Reminds me of my stay at the Hotel Pennsylvania in NYC, where Captain Glenn Miller and Artie Shaw lives and performed.

Miller wrote "Pennsylvania 6-5000" about the hotel.

They tore it down recently to make a McOffice building.
