Do all Spitfires overfly Biggin Hill?

As a Scout Leader I am often at Downe Scout Camp, ever so slightly south-east of Biggin Hill. Last Saturday afternoon a late model, Invasion striped cannon Spitfire overflew pretty much east to west. It occurs to me that this is not an unusual circumstance.

I'm pretty sure both a Hurricane and a Spitfire - presumably the BBMF - overflew when I was there last, a couple of months ago and the time before that another Spitfire. Maybe there is one based there, but given how rare they are and how valuable, do they always do an overflight/salute if in the area?

Roger.
