Re: RAF fighter meets KLM DC-2
David,
In the online archive of Flight magazine, the October 25, 1934 issue has a story that resembles the event you describe.
It appears that when the passengers of the DC-2 "Uiver" arrived at Mildenhall in a KLM Fokker F.VIII the day before the race started, it may have been at the same moment when two RAF Hawker Harts, one of No. 24 (Communications) Squadron from Hendon and one of No. 601 Squadron, were over the newly opened airfield.
The article adds: 'K.L.M. were making the most of a very wonderful opportunity". A sudden little formation flying here?
Regards,
Leendert
