THIS year's Biggin Hill Air Fair will be bidding a fond farewell to two jets as they bow out of active service.

The RAF Jaguar and Royal Navy Sea Harrier end their careers later this year but before then they will perform their penultimate display at Biggin Hill.

The Sea Harrier's short take-off and vertical landing capabilities made it perfect for operations from ships at sea.

With a top speed of 1,056mph, the RAF Jaguar was perfect for low and medium-level attacks as well as reconnaissance missions.

Tickets for the air fair, being held on September 3 and September 4, are available by calling 0870 756 3727 or by visiting the website bigginhillairfair.co.uk

Advance adult tickets cost £16, children's tickets are £5 and a family ticket for a car of up to five passengers costs £36.
