Remembering the Battle of Britain. Supporting heroes.
As a front line fighter base, Biggin Hill was at the forefront of the Battle of Britain and this year marks the 71st anniversary of that titanic struggle. This rich heritage with the din of battle still resonating among the Spitfire pens, is being recognised by an open day on September 10. The people and the machines that defended Blighty from the invaders are being remembered and celebrated by families from the Biggin Hill area, with proceeds to be shared by two charities.
For those too young to remember the dark days of 1940, the emphasis of the day's proceedings will be on re-creating the feel of Biggin Hill in a time from its glorious past. Having played such a pivotal role in Britain's history, and now one of Europe's leading business and general aviation centres, Biggin Hill Airport and its resident companies are bringing a taste of that heroic past to the present-day modern airport.
Two charities will benefit from the proceeds of the open day; Valence Special school in Westerham and the RAF Benevolent Fund.

Battle of Britain scramble and history re-enactment by 212 Squadron
