Biggin Hill BoB Air Show 2004

Postby Hagar » Sun Sep 19, 2004 4:58 pm

Fantastic day out. :D Not been to a display at Biggin for many years. I've seen some great shows this season but this was quite the best yet. The weather wasn't brilliant but the rain held off. This makes up for yesterday. ;)

Never seen so many different aircraft in one place in my life. :o One or two I've never seen before. I didn't know which one to point the camera at next. It'll take me a week to sort them all out. Here's a few to go on with. There was so much going on I've only got room for 1 shot of each.

The Dutch Air Force F-16 opened the show with a bang. Immaculate display as usual. ;)

Did you ever see anything like this? The glider is still on tow.

Now he's off. Unfortunately only one smoke canister was working.
Image

Woohoo. Look what showed up. The Sea Fury is already here. ;D
Image

The Butterlies. Only 2 today. This is both girls' last performance.
Image

The inevitable Harrier. Still the biggest crowd-pleaser. If he didn't show up there would be a riot.
Image

Wow. This brings back some memories.
Image

Look out, the Army's here. Army Air Corps Historic Flight with the Blue Eagles display team tagging on behind.

PS. I only got back a couple of hours ago. Resizing this lot was a bit of a rush job. The quality might not be too great but I just had to post them before going to bed.

Great shots,Hagar. Number four is really outstanding from a study standpoint.

I have not been able to get to an airshow this year (except for our annual thunder over Louisville). Even missed the Dayton show after swearing that i would'nt.

Clear skies,

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!
