Biggin Hill This Weekend

john romain did indeed close the show both days but in spit xviii sm845,ta805 remained firmly on static shows what i know!

Whats the AN-12 in for is it the Indian Air force helicopter display team Support plane? I just checked on there Blue eagles Website and it now looks as they do have a Apache in the team only on at some displays though see link for dates http://www2.army.mod.uk/aac/display/the_blue_eagles/dates.htm

Popped up there this evening – not a lot to see as the static park has now been moved to areas which are easier to access for spectators.

A few pictures taken in the gloom 😉

I think the Reds are on tour out in Canada & USA. So I take there no Vulcan this year maybe next year. It be good to see Indian Air force helicopter display team next to the Blue Eagles. Is this true someone told me that the Blue Eagles Have an Apache added to the team now is this true?

At Cosford the Blue Eagles cosisted of a lynx and Apache only, didnt see the Apache display though as it had an apu fire and so had to land in a farmers field!

I’ll be there on Sunday.

No Reds this year sadly as we all know. It was 2006 when I finally appreciated them properly. I’ve always preferred warbirds to display teams and modern military planes. But I was converted in 2006.

Plus the fact that my brother’s old schoolfriend is now Red Three makes it even more of a shame that they are not here.

mh434 will fly with p51d ferocious frankie (nigel lamb and paul bonhomme),ta805 will close the show both days(john romain)

The weather on Sunday looks better. It will be good to see the Vimy replica again (a browse in the photo album shows its been quite a few years since the last appearance). Nice too to see the Sea Hawk again (Vixen would be better, maybe next year).
Interesting experience last year: we had just left the airfield and were driving past the perimeter fence just as the Reds were opening up for a formation take-off. Ours is a mid-size family car, but boy did it rock in the breeze! Sent quite a few freeloaders (sorry, spectators/photographers situated outside the event) running for cover!!

It seems they have Mh434 this year for the solo. Whether TA805 flies as a two ship with something im not too sure. I saw a spitty fly over work yesterday at 2 but couldnt see the markings. On the website they say they will have ther stalls there but no mention of AC.

Weather looks good for tomorrow too.
