On 03-July-1920, the Royal Air Force held a pageant at Hendon, to raise funds for the RAF Memorial Fund. The photos and the excerpt are from the 08-July-1920 Flight Magazine. Note the outline of Charlie Chaplin on Longton's Fokker D.VII.
Next came a realistic aerial combat between Flight-Lieut. F. T. Williams, M>B>E (3 Huns) on a Martinsyde and Flight-Lieut. W. H. Longton, D.F.C, A.F.C. (16 Huns, 1 balloon), on a Fokker D.VII. These two executed every possible kind of manoeuvre to obtain a position of advantage over the other, to the accompaniment of frequent papapaps from their machine guns and we must say that the "Hun" certainly put up a magnificent "defence."
