What a start
Re: LBHA FoF 17th and 18tb August
I'm normally quite good with cryptic clues, but had to give-in & Google this one! Aaaaaand the result is 'Biggin Hill'...not Little Big Horn, or anything else you can make-up except for "London Biggin Hill Airport Festival of Flight". Jeez! If only the flying programme was that long?
Re: LBHA FoF 17th and 18tb August
To normal people it's just the Biggin Hill Festival of Flight.
Loafer for Mr. Da Vinci.
Re: Biggin Hill Festival of Flight 17th and 18th August
Great stuff, be interesting to see if they get booked for any more shows over here during the summer, thoroughly enjoyed their displays at Bournemouth last summer. When heard about the Reds tour was looking forward to a bit more diversity in terms of the display teams that we will see this year so this is a great start.
Re: Biggin Hill Festival of Flight 17th and 18th August
Hopefully they can build on such a great start!

With the airspace restrictions at Biggin Hill will the Breitling Jet team be able to do their full display? or will they be limited to a flat display like the Patrouille de France a few years ago?
Its great to have the team back at Biggin - last displayed here at the Air Fair in 2008 and did a full looping show!

Gatwick and Heathrow are still there as is their associated controlled airspace - what do you think?

For those who aren't aware there's now a part of the site dedicated to the festival of flight, with some nice participants, loving the amount of antique American metal

Not quite... P-47, TF-51 and Buchón have been announced, and would appear to be flying in the D-Day sequence.

According to the Biggin Hill FOF website
Cap 10 team added ?? Is this the French ‘Captens’ team flying 2 x cap 10 aircraft?
The photo shows 2 x Cap 232 aircraft in the global stars colours?? Then why not ‘global stars’ duo??

From a video on facebook the ME109 will be out the hangar, possible flying but they are not making any promises on it! its a step in the right direction! it appears to be all paneled up with prop and engine in!

The promotional email I received today features the flying schedule for the weekend. The final display is the BGHH Spitfire, Hurricane and Bf 109. Ultimate Fighters on the other hand are listed as a Buchon so seems like the organisers know the difference. Hopefully an official confirmation will come soon on whether White 14 will fly.
Re: Biggin Hill Festival of Flight 17th and 18th August
Just had a response on facebook the BF109 will not be flying
