The paint schemes reflect two of the key squadrons based at Biggin Hill during the Battle of Britain period. The Hurricane being a 32 Squadron machine used by Peter Brothers and the Spitfire being a 92 Squadron machine used by Geoffrey Wellum.

If I remember rightly 32 Squadron had been sent north for a rest before 92 Squadron arrived at ‘The Bump’.

Nice to see some relevant schemes on the gate guardians at this famous ex-fighter base.

Is this the French Vulcan ?

Oui 😀

The article that Clive James refers to is this one:

http://www.independent.co.uk/opinion/commentators/mary-wakefield-sex-education-classes-are-the-last-thing-young-children-need-1816567.html

That is a very well written piece from Mr James – must remember to look at it or catch the aural version on Radio 4.

Not the first time it has happened up our local high street – a patient escaped from the same place some time in the early 90’s and nearly killed a pupil at the nearby junior school where my cousins were at.

With any luck they will catch her soon.

This is probably as near as you will get in that respect 😀

It does seem a bit risky having 300 microlights crossing the Channel in a 2 hour window.

I was going down myself to watch the events from the National Trust propery on the cliffs above the ferry port, but a cold means the day would have been a nightmare 🙁
