Any ideas?

Postby Stevieboy » Wed Mar 11, 2009 10:58 pm

Just pulled this off of the Biggin Hill International Air Fair 2009 website:

"We have had to wait 17 years for the return of the Vulcan, another iconic aircraft which has not been seen for the past couple of years because of overseas deployment, the Royal Air Force's Harrier GR9 will participating in this year's air fair.

They say things come along in three's, another unique aircraft could be added soon, one which will not be seen at any other airshow this year."

Any thoughts/inside info ;) ?
That's it! You people have stood in my way long enough. I'm going to clown college!

ooooooooo - difficult one really. historically, Biggin has attracted all manner of oddities - including some interesting 'diverts' en route to LGW! ;)
