One of the perks of my very soon to be ex-job is free tickets to the Biggin Hill Air Fair, while the flight display is amazing it’s the congregated display of plane enthusiasts that truly astounds me.
A strange breed, rarely seen out of its natural habitat (indoors alone or at an airport car-park alone) the air fair is an opportunity for this bizarre strain of gonk to meet en-masse.It’s not easy getting photographs of the lesser spotted plane spotter, they move very quickly between the airfix model peddlers and crap cap vendors. The glorious Boo helped a great deal in getting these shots with her shouts of MUNT HUNT whenever a contender was in snapping range. Here are the top 3
Crazy-Eyes Catweezle
It was sweltering, and he has a fleece on both his back and face so gets points for that. The laser beam eyes nearly won me over, but then we saw….
Dr. Darts
In 2001 the world wildlife fund designated the mullet and moustache combination an endangered species, we were pleased to see that this rare specimen has found a mate with an equally freaky frightwig.
Helmut Wang
A surprise German entry and 2006’s clear winner. What can I say? His confidence in his gonkery is 1st class, from the dedicated Ferrari branding, to the frizzy fuzz bonnet peeping cheekily from under the cap. You know that he left the house thinking to himself “Helmut, you look shit hot today”
BWB
