Biggin Hill
Would some please confirm that the Sea Hawk and Sea Fury are at Biggin Hill.
Thanks.
Brunty keeping it loud – what?
Frank, the Harrier sounds like an angry hairdryer compared to a Lightning at max re-heat! (at less than 300 ft I might add!) 😉 😀

or a pair of Lightnings!
or a Vulcan!
I would walk from the nearest railway station just to watch ‘558 on engine runs before the air test.
I am a member, though not an owner. If I can go, I usually pick the Sunday to attend, so that what I did this year. For the first time in ten years plus of visits I came away disappointed.
I like to wander around the aircraft photographing either close-up shots or full. There are (were) so few places that allowed such close-up access.
Surely the membership card could act as a waiver? With the airside visitor being given a document to read and sign-off stating the dos and don’t. With the threat of removal.
The airshow was alittle short with no big deH aircraft such as Doves or Herons
displaying.
Let’s hope everyone can come to a satisafactory agreement to allow more open access next year. There being so many anniversaries to celebrate.
A big thank you to all the owners, and every involved.

We’ll have the Beech out on display
That Beech looked great, and one of the owners let me have a close-up look too. Thank you again for that.
So does the Beech have some wings on yet?
Better find the ear protection for the Jets!
😮
Guess the Gnat is from Kennet?
Who is flying it? Not every day you get to fly with the Reds.
Waddington and Fairford both had a PR.9.
The crew seemed to be be the same for both events!
My quote in post #3 is from the horse’s mouth (MOD): “Current plans envisage the aircraft remaining in service for some years to come”
Thank you, much better news.
I wish they would fly the PR.9 at airshows.
How long have the PR.9s left, what with the upcoming Defense cuts?
No direct replacement either.
Great static pics.
Only took the video camera to save weight!
Please post some more, but please state what day the photo was taken on.
I remember seeing a stringbag at Woburn one year. I could not believe how big it was close-up.
Don’t some countries have a National Heritage Scheme where the export of an historic item is actually illegal and you can end up with a hefty fine?
The Mosquito should be restored to flying status for the Nation and assigned to the BBMF.
And now I know I must be dreaming!:)
