Biggin Hill 1996
I'm trying to track down the dates of the Biggin Hill air show in 1996, I remember seeing a Vickers Vimy flying replica there as well as an Aero L39 Albatross painted all yellow. Can anyone help?
Thanks again,
Rick

thanks for the quick replies guys, the next one is a little harder!!
Photos below are from Biggin Hill as well, they were taken at the Air Fair in 1991, but can anyone confirm the date of it. and also I'm stuck with the identity and registrations of some of them.
Texan made to look like a Zero, but which Texan is it?
I think this is Westland Sea King HU5 (XV651), Can anyone confirm?
Colomban MC-12A Cri-Cri (F-PZTU), I think this was the same year but can anyone confirm?
Shackleton, but I'm not sure of the registration.
A-10 and Jaguar, not sure of the registrations either.
I know this is alot to ask but I was hopefull of someone having a record of the aircraft at the show to confirm these.
I have done the usual and written to the airport, air displays int and checked out the web but I have as yet had no joy with these pictures.
Thanks
Rick.

Can't help with the reggies (my anorak had self distructed by then, but still maintain a distant interest and a long memory for some stuff) but that "Zero" strikes a chord... is it French from the Salis collection? Certainly not UK I'd suggest...
One of the serious spotter mags has a good on-line airshows listing. Not complete but better for the more recent years. I'll try to remember which one... You tried googling?

Further to my post last night - wasn't it one of the Tora Tora Tora AT-6/Zeros? I have a feeling it remained US registered and that Gary Numan operated it for a year or two alongside his well-known "Japanese" Harvard...

I've managed to find the dates which were the 15th & 16th June.
treadigraph,
Thanks for the replies, I've done the usual google thing but came to no joy. I found pictures of a white harvard from around the same time but none of this one, the Tora Tora Tora connection sounds familiar, I'll have to look into that as well.
Thanks,
Rick
