VH-KDK Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 A few views of my flight from Biggin Hill down to the White Cliffs of Dover. 1. Climbing out of Biggin Hill, plenty of change here since I used to make the annual pilgrimage to the Air Fair in the 70s. 2. Passing Tonbridge. 3. Picking up the A20 and M20 at Ashford, which will guide us to Dover. 4. Approaching Folkestone and the Channel Tunnel Terminal 5. The Cruise Terminal at Dover. 6. The famous white cliffs, always a welcome sight after a rough ferry crossing from The Continent. 7. The Tunnel Terminal again with the entrance just behind the port wing. 8. Now at Hythe. 9. Descending into Lydd at Littlestone. 10. Forgotten something? 11. Ah yes. The undercarriage, just remembered at the last minute! A safe touch down at Lydd Airport. Hope you enjoyed the flight through the Garden of England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olderndirt Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Did I read somewhere that they were painting the WhiteCliffs - becoming too weathered and scruffy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You did OD, there is an article in the Daily Express. http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/657199/White-Cliffs-of-Dover-get-new-coat-paint-repainted-pictures-Kent Did you realise there is England's only Spaghetti farm just above the cliffs modelled on this one in Ticino? Apparently they were worried that the wind would blow the paint onto their crop so they were only able to paint the cliffs on certain days. Many thanks for commenting folks and I am glad you enjoyed the post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
