	The Story of Biggin Hill
		By 1900 Biggin Hill was a small settlement of approximately 500 people clustered by the side of the Westerham Road and based around the junction with Jail Lane by the Black Horse Inn.
		Biggin Hill was remote and as the name suggests, hilly, so the cost of transporting building materials from the nearest station was prohibitive.
		Biggin Hill was part of a different trend, albeit one that used the fashionable Garden City concept as a marketing ploy.

		Photography isn’t quite as challenging either; the crowd line at Biggin is such that by mid afternoon, the sun has moved from over your shoulder to stare you in the face, and in September this made things particularly tricky with the sun obviously being lower in the sky.
		ATC restrictions at Biggin make the fast jets particularly impressive, as with so many major airports nearby, they’re forced into their flat displays even in such perfect weather conditions, keeping them low and tight in front of the crowd.
		Biggin truly had something for everyone, and completing the mix were the historic aircraft.

	UK Airshow Review - "Biggin Mix" - Biggin Hill International Air Fair 2005 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The Biggin Hill International Air Fair, with its early September slot, provides an opportunity to enjoy late season thrills, and again the organisers managed to produce a substantial and diverse display, and not for the first time this season, the whole weekend enjoyed soaring temperatures and glorious sunshine!
		Remarkably, neither of your authors had previously seen ‘CVIX’ perform at an airshow before Biggin Hill, and with this year’s booking list for the aircraft consisting mostly of seaside shows and European dates, Biggin Hill was sadly one of very few chances to see her at a major UK display this year.
		The Sea Hawk was joined, as ever, by the prop-driven Sea Fury, both aircraft returning to Biggin Hill a year on from their return to the airshow circuit after lengthy lay-offs for maintenance.

	Bumper Biggin!
		With the demise of the North Weald shows some time ago, Biggin Hill was left as London's only major airshow and thanks to skyrocketing public liability insurance rates after the September 11th terrorist attacks in the USA and a lack of big sponsors, it seemed that this show, too, was doomed.
		Foreign civilian participation was a different matter however, with the US-based Grumman Albatross making another appearance at Biggin (her last in the UK before the long series of hops to get back home to the USA) and a pair of old timers from Sweden - a Tummelisa (1919 biplane type) and a Bleriot replica.
		A single Spitfire joyously rolling over Biggin Hill, this most famous of Battle of Britain airfields, can bring on a shiver to the most stoic of characters and it was simply the perfect end to a damn good show.

	1919: The RAF Biggin Hill mutiny \| libcom.org
		A short history of the victorious rebellion of British servicemen in the air force who were living in appalling conditions, soon after World War I. This dispute was in many ways typical of the smaller struggles of the wave of mutinies which swept the British Armed Forces towards the end of World War One.
		The 500 Royal Air Force men of the Wireless Experimental Establishment at the South Camp of the famous 'Battle of Britain' airfield at Biggin Hill had been living in absolutely appalling conditions.
		Most of them slept in tents, the camp was a sea of mud and all the duck-boards and other stealable fuel had been burnt to obtain warmth in the freezing weather.
