Many thanks to Aero Legends for a superb show Saturday, we were there all three days, but at least Saturday was summer……. met a very nice lady from Flypast, and happened to mention what a sh1t show this forum now was, she promised to pass on my thoughts.

Sadly no flying at all yesterday (Sunday) due to the weather. In the end, the show organisers took the decision to cancel the show at 3.00pm.
However in a lovely gesture the organisers have said on their website, that anyone who attended the show on Sunday would get free entry into next years show. Well done the them.
Another nice gesture was a mass taxi by the attending Spitfires. Ok, they could get off the ground, but at least the crowds were able to see and hear them moving. This was greatly appreciated and really lifted the spirits. So a huge thank you to all the pilots and ground crews who made this happen.
As for the silver Spitfire, well in my opinion its by far one of the nicest Spitfire flying. Even in the cold grey mist that covered Headcorn, it still looked absolutely stunning!!

I went on Friday – the weather saw off the Red Arrows (they came and had a look but the cloud was too low) and the BBMF but everything else displayed. It was good to see the Silver Spitfire in the flesh having followed it’s round the world flight with interest. Also good to see the “NHS” Spitfire back at Headcorn – it was a more common visitor when Martin Sargeant had it (operating out of Goudhurst). Another throwback was Aerolegends recently acquired 2nd Harvard – that used to be owned by Chris Bellhouse and would be around with Martin Sargeant’s Harvard on a regular basis. It’s a small world really isn’t it?
It was also great to see Sally B again – I’ve not seen her for a few years so it was a welcome return. The mass flypast of Spitfires (and Hurricane) was a sight to behold as wll – only a few years ago it would have seemed ridiculous to suggest that many would be seen at Headcorn.
On Saturday I got to see Sally B again as she was orbiting near our house whilst she waited to run in for her display – also got to see the Aerolegends formation as they wheeled over the village, the BBMF as they flew in for their display and the finale balbo as they came around for a pass. Quite a productive afternoon of gardening!
It’s a shame that the weather didn’t really play ball for them (again), Sunday appears to have been a bit of a washout but hopefully they’ll be back next year with another show.

For a tiny strip in the middle of nowhere, Headcorn do manage to pull some great stuff into their orbit (eg two Lancasters)- chapeau to whoever organises it!
