I watched a bit over the days on Youtube, obviously not as good as hearing, seeing and smelling It appears to be one of the best of its type and hats off to them.
I did see Sally B on her way down but not back and I did see the fighters Friday morning but only two on the Sunday evening

My son and I went on Saturday, and had a lovely day. Warm and sunny, but windy. Thankfully this didn’t stop the flying.
All credit to the organisers, they did an absolutely brilliant job and put on a terrific little show. There was no queuing to get in, and very little to get out at the end of the day. It took us about 10 minutes, that’s all.
The staff on the gates, and around the airfield were really friendly and helpful. Very good and informative commentary along with great views of the flight line and flying displays.
BertMk2, was right about the three Hurricanes, and three Spitfires in formation. A fine sight indeed. The Spits and Hurricanes, were all well and good, and always grab the spotlight. However for me the highlight was watching the venerable old C47 ‘Pegasus’, being put through her paces. She might be getting on in years, but then aren’t we all? But she put on a fine display and not just once.
She was up and down all afternoon, either flying solo, or in formation with Sally B, or with a gaggle of Harvard’s. Great stuff.
Here a few photos.

I went on Friday – good day out. The sight of the 3 Hurricanes and 3 Spitfires together at the end of the day was worth the admission price alone, great in formation and then a really good tail chase too. The Buchon got ‘shot down’ as is traditional but did appear to have a minor mechanical issue too (coolant leak possibly?) but it flew on the other days so whatever it was can only have been minor. The scheduled BBMF Spitfire turned out to be a Hurricane but that’s not a bad thing and it put on a good show. Shame to lose the Strikemasters to crew illness but these things can’t be helped. Whilst I didn’t go on either Saturday or Sunday I did see a few of the aircraft around as I don’t live too far from Headcorn.
