Seamus Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Morning all, Here's my selection of images from a fine show at Biggin on Sunday. It was mainly the Czech contingent that brought me back to Biggin for the first time since the last air fair in 2010, but overall I thought the show was excellent, with an decent blend of military and civilian acts.

dieselweasel Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Great shots, would love to do the Hind in those markings, who will bring out the markings first, thanks for posting. ATB Jim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie @ Sovereign Hobbies Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 This was my first time at Biggin Hill. The drive down was a pig, but the airshow I thought was very good indeed. The snobs will make a point of scoffing I have no doubt, but I particularly enjoyed the Spitfire display which closed the show. Like everyone I have seen many Spitfire displays but I haven't seen one thrown around properly since Mark & Ray Hanna were around. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Head in the clouds. Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Some of the finest shots I have seen, I especially like the Reds break and the Gripen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon382 Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 I was at the show on the Sunday and loved every minute so thanks for posting such amazing photos. I thought the Hind/Hip display was worth the price of addmission on there own. As for the Herc that came in......Wow! Could have tidied it up a bit for the show, lol! Still, as I drove out, I noticed that the crew had set up a table and were selling Sqdn t-shirts. Very reasonable at £10 so just had to! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wheezi Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Great shots Shaun. Any idea what the marks on the intake of the Gripen are (just above the danger sign)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
