World War Two Flypast at Biggin Hill

摘要

A mass flypast of World War Two aircraft over Biggin Hill is being organised to mark the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Britain. More than 20 Spitfires and Hurricanes are being lined up for the event, which is scheduled for Tuesday, August 18, the date of The Hardest Day, when the battle reached its peak. Biggin Hill's Heritage Hangar is organising the flypast, which will launch from the airfield before splitting off into three patrols, two flying over Kent and one over Hampshire. The Heritage Hangar also wants to trace service veterans and civilians who survived the Battle of Britain and the Blitz with the aim of inviting them to watch the flypast as VIPs at Biggin Hill.
