I think you’ll find he is the most current Buchon pilot in the world at present and has flown it since 2006, having converted onto it utilising his previous experience in flying the Russell group’s Bf109e

Dead sticking a light aircraft to a safe landing is worthy of praise let alone a Buchon!

You are entitled to be impressed Steve.

The Hog is flyable up to 2028, it’s been upgraded and rewinged.
Problem is, the USAF have to pay for the F35 somehow.
Funny they don’t consider cutting some of the vast F16 fleet to allow the CAS dedicated Hog and it’s specialised crews to remain in service. That way you will have enough F16’s to do the missions they do well and the Hog to do CAS which the F16 can’t do well. I’m talking danger close CAS with troops in contact.

Thirded! Was it John Romaine?

Apparently so, at Headcorn.

Fantastic and skilled flying there re the Buchon .

Much prefer PV202 in these latest markings , I’m no purist, but I could never accept it in the 19 Sqn colours/marks.

A quickly as that ? I only went there once (many, many years ago) It took a lot longer than that to get out.

Around 25 odd years ago it was torture getting out but nowhere near as bad as last night.
In more recent years despite the size of the crowd, Air Displays International had the traffic control off to a fine art.

The organisers to their credit have acknowledged the problem and are reviewing plans for any future event.
I have been amusing myself reading the comments on their Facebook page, the majority of suggestions for future traffic control arrangements make sense but some peoples suggestions for future flying display participants were frankly hilarious.
One buffoon suggested US F-15s and F-16s and declared himself bored with ‘propellor jobs’ another found the closing Spitfire display boring.
The top prize went to the brain donor demanding Harriers!
Even non aviation minded workmates of mine were aware that the Harrier was unceremoniously scrapped.
The organisers went to great pains to explain that the event would be deliberately lower key compared to past events and aimed more at the local community.
As a Biggin Hill Air Fair veteran of many years I lowered my expectations and therefore wasn’t disappointed on the day, I thoroughly enjoyed it……….and got to sit in a Spitfire !!

Fantastic photos throughout!
Peter Teichman did a superb routine at Biggin in JJ.
