It's now Liverpool John Lennon Airport, named after a chap who played in a 4 piece combo that young people enjoyed.

I was just wondering what kites the kids were throwing stones at in the 50's and 60's at Speke Aerodrome.

When I was in Berlin the Aussies gave the city a DC3 in memory of the Air Bridge. The kite beat up the airfield before landing and going into mothballs as a museum piece, brilliant, and a very agile aircraft it was too. The occasion was the RAF Gatow Open Day, a very rare occurrance. The Berlin Wall was just the other side of the airfield.
