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 will perform their penultimate display at Biggin Hill.

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

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