Headcorn Int'l Airshow 2026

#headcorn #internationalairshow2026 #catalina #dogfight Yesterday was the last date of the Headcorn International Airshow 2026. The event is held annually and attracted many visitors from local and abroad. I went to the show on the 28th. The airshow focuses on historical aeroplanes and is a good place to appreciate how the people in Headcorn as well as other aviation enthusiasts working so dedicatedly on maintaining and preserving the vintage aeroplanes. Many of the planes are very old indeed. This year, on the 28th, one of the iconic planes was the Catalina, which is capable of making landing in water and on land. It was exciting to watch it taking-off, crusing, and landing. The helicopter pleasure flights was also a very popular event to visitors: for a few minutes flight at a small amount of money was definitely worth a once in a lifetime experience. The weather was very good and the original schedule was followed with only a few changes. The Battle of Britain Memorial Flight (without the Lancaster this year) and the performances by the different teams was also excellent. The commentary was well presented to let visitors learn the brilliant histories of the planes. There were also many stores for one to buy souvenirs or enjoy the local party food and drink. Enjoy the airshow.
