Is there a way of finding out this info from other airports? e.g. Birmingham ;D

I know one that you couldn't. The fact that I couldn't either has nothing to do with it.
Amazing piece of detective work Craig. I'm impressed.
PS. This makes you even more of an anorak than me.

Perhaps. but there were two aircraft due for departure at the time and it had been announced as the wrong one

What actually happened was that the SE.5a took off before the Bristol Fighter. There is a very considerable difference between these two aircraft & it's almost impossible to confuse them, one being a small single-seater & the other a much larger machine with a gunner's position behind the pilot. Our friend Mr. Spake was obviously reading from a script & enthusing about the Brisfit that had just taken off & was being displayed right in front of him while it was actually still on the ground. In fact I think it was me that first pointed this out & this sums up my opinion of using celebrities as air show commentators.
PS. It might have been the other way round but I'm sure you see my point.
