Biggin Hill Air Show June 2010


Alpha Delta 210

Hi all

 

I was taking a stroll down memory lane by trawling through my archives on my external hard drive and came upon this collection.

 

I was amazed to see how many of the types had retired in the last ten years....

Great photos of many already long time retired props as well :thumbsup:

 

Love the full markings Typhoon with the Spit in trail :)

 

And I think the Tornado / Harrier should not have been retired due to leaving a huge capability gap....

In the case of the Harrier it is slowely filled in part by the F-35 ... but the Tornados recce capability is not covered by Typhoon... which in turn is foremost a fighter, and range/ stores/pylon wise  not a fighterbomber , needing  to replacing its small tanks with the heavy weapons...

:(

rant off!

 

Great pics!

I remember being most excited by the VC-10 touch and go!

I have a soft spot for the VC-10 and enjoyed those photos most of all. All of your shots are wonderful!
