Biggin Hill

Biggin Hill

Well the weather is still wet, however at the moment it looks like Saturday may be ok. Lets hope so, as I am still hoping to go to the Biggin Hill Airshow which is on all this weekend.

Now, I have been to a couple in the past an been lucky with the weather, however one I went to it bucketed it down at the beginning and I remember this poor guy having to fly in an open cockpit WWI tri-plane! I had to try and keep the camera out of the torrential rain, then try and get a photo when the aircraft was in the correct position so as not to get water on the lens. Get an interesting grainy photo though, where the graining was the rain!

I have quite good waterproof gear for myself, and some decent protection for the camera, put you still have to keep it off the lens. Luckily that time it didn’t last for long and made for interesting photos, but you don’t want it all the time.

This weekend at Biggin Hill, hopefully I should see, Spitfires, Lancaster, Mustangs, Red Arrows & a Typhoon. Never seen or photographed one of them! Ah, just realised, the Typhoon, is probably going to be the EuroFighter, not the WWII Typhoon, shame… Does a flying on of those exist?.. Short Answer: No.
