The weather played a major part in shaping the 2021 Battle of Britain Airshow at Headcorn. Low cloud on the Friday and very poor weather on the Sunday prevented the Red Arrows and the BBMF Dakota from displaying at the show. However, Friday did improve and Saturday proved to be a very pleasant day allowing all the civilian displays to go ahead as planned. The 'Fighter Balbo' was the obvious highlight of the show with 9 Spitfires and a Hurricane flying around the Kentish skies. More images and a full review can be found HERE.
