On Saturday 26th & Sunday 27th June the Hawker Hurricane Society was at the Biggin Hill Air Fair.
We turned up at the gates at 7.30 a.m. to only join the back of a queue of people already waiting to get in, however we did not have to queue long and after going straight to our site (a first!) we set up in record time.
The weather on Saturday was very hot, there was a lot of people there but they were only spending money on food and drinks etc with a few exceptions.
Sunday morning there was no problem getting in. The football game kept the crowds down compared to Saturday. The weather was very hot; it touched 35 deg. C. at one point.
The flying display was reasonable with four Hurricanes flying on both days, plus a Hawker Hunter and a VC 10. We also met plenty of old friends during the two days - in all a quite good weekend.
