Just stumbled over a nice Google Earth view of an airshow at 51"19'30 N 0"02'00 E - Biggin Hill of Battle of Britain fame.

Edit: Attached screenshot for your convenience

Nice find, thanks for sharing

A VC 10, a Lancaster and Liberator?

I was sitting here trying to identify everything too, saw some that looked like Tornados, Jaguars, and Mirages too

I also spent quite some time trying to identify types. Don't know much about jets though. VC-10 and Lancaster are correct, but I think the other 4E in the lower left corner is a B-17 (single tail rudder, B-24 had two). There are several single-engine planes with elliptical wings which must be Spitfires, but I have trouble identifying the other single-engined prop planes. I think there might be a Walrus, but I'm not sure.

Nice find!

And if you observe the area a bit to the east on rwy03 you can see other famous guys.


Hint: I marked them with a couple of Red Arrows. [:'(]

Have a look at the Duxford airfield and see if you can identify the aircraft parked there (Hint: I'm sure that B-17 is in both pictures ... what a glamor hog!!)
