The RN Merlin was doing a practice display around 2:30, and the Tornado F3’s were part of the RAF Role Demo display – flying various circuit patterns on CAP.

Thanks for such quick replys!
I’ve never been to Biggin Hill before so it’ll all be new to me.
Thanks again,
Alex

Thanks 🙂
Those pictures look like they were taken from the very northern corner of the crowdline – you can just see the yellow lines that mark where the taxiway joins the runway. That is where the original taxiway joined the runway before the extension was added (hence the tail wheel is already a way off the ground by this point).

Hi Alex,
They’re taken from the flightline, down at the left hand end (Eastern?) i.e. face the runway and walk to the your left!
It’s not a bad place to view the show from as it’s a lot less crowded and you can get some good take-off or landing shots depending on which runway is in use, but it is a long way from the centre of the display line.
Hope that helps!

Great photos!
I’m thinking about going to Biggin tomorrow, and just wondered if you could help me out.
I’m after shots like these:

… and just wondered if you knew where they were taken from (roughly). I’ve tried to contact the photographer, but no reply yet.
Many thanks in advance,
Alex
