Biggin Hill on GE
 
Some of you probably already know about this but I only just discovered it.

Google Map's shot of Biggin Hill seems to have captured an airshow that day. Lots of warbirds and other great aircraft.

none at all, which is dissapointing, considering it was a major fighter base

Looks like 3 spits near the runway and 1 spit 2 huri's near the hanger
Plus the one on the right looks like it has the white stripes on the wings

And if you look over towards the upper right near the woods look at all them planes cramed in there lol, now thats what i call parking

One Spit (Closest to door) and two Hurricanes

Nice having the Red Arrows on the runway. I wonder if they took the photo's on that specific date because there was an airshow or if it was coincidence.

David Hayward 04-19-2011 02:01 PM

There are only 8 red jets on the runway. It looks like someone missed the show.

bongodriver 04-19-2011 02:05 PM

Maybe it was lady red.....needed more time to get ready :grin:

David Hayward 04-19-2011 02:14 PM

They should have told her the satellite was taking a team picture.

David Hayward 04-19-2011 02:19 PM

Can anyone ID the 2 aircraft at the left end of the warbird lineup. The rest look like Spits and Hurris, but I can't tell what the last 2 are.

bongodriver 04-19-2011 02:24 PM

they do look like 109's

It looks like two different types. One is probably a 109, but I don't think both are.

David Hayward 04-19-2011 02:33 PM

Maybe the shorter one is a 190?

LcSummers 04-19-2011 03:03 PM

I see a Bf109 and a Fw 190 too. The rest Spits and Hurris.

Robotic Pope 04-19-2011 06:28 PM

I spy Miss Demeanour :)

Ahhhh! its a 108 and a Buchon on the end.

danjama 04-20-2011 12:24 AM

Can someone post aerial pics of Hornchurch airfield in the game?

I wonder how they modelled it, as I struggle to find wartime pics of my local field.

Thanx mistery is solved. Now we see it clearly.

I hope someone with good FMB skills puts together a nice Biggin Hill set up for us with some moving vehicles and lots of detail.
