Biggin Hill in Kent is a very famous fighter station and on November 2nd, 1939, one of its resident Squadrons
claimed the first enemy aircraft of the war when it shot down a Dornier Do 17. Biggin Hill played a
major role in the Battle of Britain during World War Two.
The airshow usually has a good mix of historic aircraft and modern military jets.
'Based at Biggin Hill Airport in Kent, Air Displays International established the now world famous Biggin Hill International Air Fair in 1963. Over the years the Air Fair has built a reputation for providing an excitement packed day out for both aviation enthusiasts and the general public alike. In addition to featuring air show favourites such as the Red Arrows the organisers strive to bring something new to each year's show.'
