Battle of Britain Memorial Flight.

A Supermarine SPitfire as Flown in the Battle of Britain.
A spitfire under restoration, hopefully to be ready for the 2011 season.
The Avro Lancaster.
The rear gunners torret, the most vunerable part of the aircraft.

Some Daffy Duck nose art.








Ive spent many a happy day at airshows when I was growing up, and one of the highlights for me was the BBMF flying overhead in of of only 2 flying Lancaster's in the world, as well and being accompanied by a spitfire and Hurricane.
Thew flight exists to remind everyone of the sacrifices made in WW" made by so many people to ensure we have the rights to live our lives as we see fit today.
On the day we Visited the planes were all being worked on as it is the off season and the planes all get a through servicing over the winter months to ensure there in tip to;p condition for the demanding season ahead.
