2015 saw a remarkable evening airshow take place at Headcorn in Kent. This show saw many aircraft of the Battle arrive at the grass airfield in order to pay tribute to the men of the Battle over the fields where it would have been fought 75 years ago. In a dramatic last hour there was … Continue reading Airshow Moments 2015 #8 –Headcorn’s Battle of Britain
This years Warbird Tails advent will take on a slightly different feel to last year, rather than a series of full posts this December will focus on a series of Airshow Moments from across the season.

Seaside shows always provide a very different atmosphere to the more common land based events. Being able to watch these displays from the comfort of a beach certainly makes for a relaxed atmosphere, though close viewing of the acts is rarely an option. However I always try and make the effort to attend Eastbourne each … Continue reading Eastbourne Airbourne 2015 – 16th August
Friday saw the first day of this years Goodwood Revival, while primarily a motor racing event, the flying display always leaves a lasting impression when looking back over a long season. The aviation portion of the day has been downsized over the years and now usually consists of two slots on each day. This year … Continue reading Goodwood Revival Aviation 2015 – Photo Post

Regular readers of this site will know that Headcorn is my local airfield and I have grown … Continue reading Headcorn Battle Of Britain Airshow – 11th July 2015

Duxford's season opener has long heralded the start of the Airshow season "proper", being the first major venue to host an event in the season. Traditionally a one day show, though since the demise of the (much missed) October display the May show now gets two full days, rightly or wrongly. This years show was … Continue reading Duxford VE Day Anniversary Airshow 23rd-24th May 2015
