Whilst we were sitting in the car trying to get out of the field, there was a display by a two Spitfires, which I assume were two of the three that displayed earlier as there was only 3 Spitfires and 1 Hurricane in the line up outside the Rizon (?) hangar

Finally, there were 3 other Red Arrows on the field which I forgot to (got bored with) log.

Of note, the flying display was badly affected by the poor visability with a number of attendee's cancelling.

Glad the day was primarily a trip down memory lane with my Dad, who lived through the Battle of Britian and the Blitz, and who took me to my first air display at Biggin Hill in 1973 (made 150 that day) rather than a true spotting day.

Photo's up on the web site later.

Forgot one in the Static.

Next to the Wessex was a Bo 105 with 2-BREM applied as a sticker.  This registration. isn't a known Guernsey registration and I suspect, looking at the colour scheme, it's actually Bo 105SDBS-5 G-ENYL (msn S-382) which is withdrawn from use at Biggin Hill.  It was also declared "no flight" insurance on the 23rd April 2015.

If it is G-ENYL, then this it was displayed at the 1980 Farnborough airshow as D-HDLR.
