Was at our site this afternoon in Croydon, Surrey and we had our own privte airshow...

We are a few miles from Biggin Hill Airodrome, and we were treated to the Battle of Britain memorial flight (Spitfire, Hurricane and Lancaster) on finals over our strip into Biggin. 1st all three came past for a recce, then the Spit and Hurricane came over with gear down and landed.
Then the big Lanc came over, lowered the undercarriage as it passed at about 500' and disapeared in to land.

Just to cap it all off, we had the Euro fighter flying over 3 times as it tried to work out its best approach to Land. No afterburners, but still a mighty noise!
We all agreed that 6 merlins was a better sound though...

A very good reason to halt all flying for 20minutes I think you'll agree :)

They were all awesome aircraft,i thank the men who flew them and risked their lives to keep Britain free from the Germans so that we can today enjoy living in this free country with its immigrants overrunning the place,hospitals in ,meltdown,crap public transport,traffic jams everywhere,a totally corrupt government which is on its knees by european rules and interference..

I bet the WW2 veterans wonder why they bothered..

Nicely and accurately put Raptor

Thankyou ,,seeing the Spitfire etc flying always brings a lump to my throat,it makes me feel all proud of what could be a wonderful country which is unfortunately going down the drain..

Didnt think the thread would instantly turn into a rant though... :(

Apparently they do :rolleyes: :o


We had the Eastbourne Airshow last week and on the 16/17th of September we have 2 days of it right over our heads at Shoreham, pity we won't ever see or hear the Vulcan overhead again...RIP
