A MEMORIAL service has been held at Biggin Hill Airport to remember the five people killed in the Farnborough plane crash.
Two pilots and three passengers died when a Cessna Citation jet crashed into the side of a house in Romney Close on March 30.
About 80 people attended yesterday's service at the airport's St George's chapel which was led by an RAF Northolt chaplain.
A short flying display by six light aircraft and a Spitfire, followed the service.
Biggin Hill Airport director, Peter Lonergan, said: "It was a fitting tribute to those who died. We were very pleased to hold the service.
"It was to celebrate their lives of all the people who died but obviously it was a sad occasion.
