TA805 with Clive Denney at the helm left Biggin this afternoon at about 4pm and returned at about 17:30. I was right at the end of 03 when he came back in 🙂

A rather nice Auster followed him in.

I saw it too!

I was sitting down watching some TV in my new flat in Caterham when I heard a familiar sound over the TV. I looked out the window and saw the unmistakable shape of a Spitfire flying low overhead, I guessed, bound for the Kenley area. My little ‘un saw his first Spitfire (flying) at about 4:15pm yesterday.

Great times!

I was just looking at the 2008 display dates on the BBMF website and one on July 5th caught my eye:

“Vulcan Flypast”

Does anyone know about a potential Lancaster/Vulcan sortee or am I just reading too much into it?

The Biggin Hill Air Fair seems to have got a bit ironed out already.

… and a JU87 Stuka.

The print entitled “The Eagle’s New Wings” caught my imagination. Another “what if?” that has been visualized for us. Simply stunning!

“Still Waters” was another that made me look again.

It’s days like these that I thank God that my Dad had bought a few David Shepherd, Michael Turner, Robert Taylor and Gerald Coulson prints all those years ago… I’d also like to thank my Dad for buying them.

While we’re all waiting let’s guess the time of all wheels off – 13:03?

I think everyone at work is secretly hoping it will happen during their lunch break so they can nip down to Dixons and pretend to be interested in buying a new TV.

I know I am.
