A friend who works in Air Traffic at Biggin confirmed it to me last night as TA805 as he was the contoller who cleared her in to Biggin along with A Messerschmitt 109 for some do they were having there

Excellent, just wish I was there to see it!

Hello
I a question how many seats does a Classic flight Dakota have ?
Do you have a window seat each ?

The DC3 seats 36, with I think 16 windows. Ive booked my flight, DC3 at Biggin Hill, cant wait!

True! And only 2 weeks after it first flew again after a 3 year restoration to flight again because of a forced landing! Taken from Planetalk, sadly here it is.

Probably the same one I saw depart Biggin at about 18:50…?

Can’t beat a wokka!

I saw the very same Chinook over Orpington and not only that but a Merlin and other helis near Fort Halstead today.
Yesterday at Duxford Stephen Grey displayed the Spitfire Mk XIV whilst Nick Grey flew the Corsair, both really spirited displays and the growl of that Griffon, cant beat it! Also to fly was Pete Kynsey in the Grace Spitfire, he was taking up passengers in Ml407 all after noon, probably at least 4 or 5 times. The Harvard and Hellcat were also out on the line but did not go up.

Just wondering if anyone attended, unfortunately I couldnt make it myself. Any pics anyone? And also wondering did TA805 return to Biggin Hill this afternoon after the tragic crash of the jet?

I was up at Stratford Upon Avon and got a bus to Charlcotte park a few weeks back. As you can imagine how suprised I was to see XM655 as we passed the airfield, I didnt even know she was based there. Having said that she looked immaculate really crisp and clean, its easy to see how much hard work must go into it.
