AN F-86 Sabre jet will be flown at this year's Biggin Hill air fair to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the end of the Korean War.

The US aircraft will fly in formation with a British Royal Navy aircraft called the Fairey Firefly, both of which flew during the war.

This year's event, which marks the 40th anniversary of the air fair, is sponsored by News Shopper.

In the run-up to what promises to be a fun-filled weekend on June 7 and June 8, News Shopper plans to publish a special anniversary supplement charting the history of the show.

If you have been involved with the show, or just have fond memories, we would be interested to hear your story.
