It was a warm and humid day with heavy showers. The Red Arrows based themselves at Biggin Hill for their display and also the Queen’s birthday flypast at 1pm. Hangar 11 showed off the new livery for their P-51D Mustang, formerly “Jumpin’ Jacques” and now returned to its original Tuskegee colours as “Tall in the Saddle”.
