The Biggin Hill Heritage Hanger (BHHH) recently hosted an event to mark the 70th anniversary of the sector station declaring its 1,000th 'kill'. On May 15, 1943, Supermarine Spitfire pilots from Biggin Hill's 611 and 341 Squadrons claimed the base's 999th and 1,000th enemy aircraft. As the precise order of the victories could not be established, a compromise was reached. The two pilots - 611's Sqn Ldr Jack Charles and 341's Commandant Rene Mouchette - shook hands and declared it a 'draw'. To mark the occasion, a photograph was taken featuring Biggin Hill pilots posing in front of a Spitfire, the propeller blades of which had been marked with the numbers 999 and 1,000.
