[caption id="attachment_2113" align="alignright" width="250"] Their football team may have been rubbish, but the French Alpha Jets will definitely be a crowd pleaser at the Biggin Hill Air Fair[/caption] Unless you've been hiding in a cellar all week, you'll know that England will be facing Germany in the World Cup football on Sunday. In fact, the whole weekend is set to be a monumental 48 hours of sport and leisure with the tennis continuing at Wimbledon, the Formula 1, that football match and last but not least, the Biggin Hill Air Fair.

[caption id="attachment_2105" align="alignright" width="250"] Want to win a wingwalk? Tell us why and you could be a wingwalker[/caption] Personally, we find walking up the steps to a nice Airbus 320 bad enough, so we can't think why anyone in their right mind would want to voluntarily clamber up into a stand up harness on the top wing of a biplane, smile and wait for the plane to take off and zoom through the sky with you attached to the top.
