    Biggin Hill air show 2008

    This weekend (7th & 8th) saw Biggin Hill hold its annual air show.
    On Saturday the weather was not very good with over cast skies and some light rain but by Sunday the weather cleared, and the flight line was packed with over 80,000 spectators, total ticket sales for the weekend (120,000 approx (LBC radio)).
    A display of aircraft varying from a beautifully restored 1909 Bleriot to a Eurofighter Typhoon and various civilian aircraft took to the skies.
    The airial proceedings kicked off with a visit from the RAF parachute team.
    (I shall multi post to keep images reasonable)

    Those are some nice shots. The Mustang Spitfire formation is really cool, and unusual (at least on this side of the pond).
