The Biggin Hill International Air Fair is not only one of the most famous worldwide aviation events but it is also the largest privately organised airshow in Europe.

2008 was testament to that with the airfield reaching capacity as thousands flocked to the former World War Two fighter station for a great mix of flying display participants.

Everything that displayed is included, several with on-board mini-cams including most of the aircraft in the role demonstration.

The Biggin Hill International Air Fair is a 2 day event held in the Spring at the Historic RAF Battle of Britain base south east of London.

It's a very big show, attracting a variety of displays both military and civil. The enthusiast is always rewarded by something unusual like this years fly-bys by a Northwest Airlines Boeing 747.

Notable displays this year representing the breadth of the show were the WWI replicas, the Mosquito, the F15 Eagle and the Patroville ECCO display team. The most spectacular item was probably the Dutch F27 Troopship although the Vulcan's 'touch and go' takes some beating.

SPECIAL NOTE: This video is 'all action' with location sound in Hi-Fi stereo. There are no interviews and no dubbed music or dubbed commentary.
