The Royal Air Force Battle of
Britain Memorial Flight (BBMF) operates from RAF Coningsby, in
Lincolnshire. The mission of the RAF BBMF is to maintain the
priceless artefacts of our national heritage in airworthy
condition in order to commemorate those who have fallen in the
service of this country, to promote the modern day Air Force
and to inspire the future generations.
Flown by
regular serving RAF Aircrew, the Flight operates six
Spitfires, two Hurricane Mk 2Cs, a Lancaster as well as a C47
Dakota and two Chipmunk aircraft.
The Avro Lancaster is the most
famous and successful RAF heavy bomber of World War Two. It is
a legend that lives on today and the contribution made by the
aircraft and its crews to the freedom of our nation will,
hopefully, never be forgotten. The prototype Lancaster took to
the air for its first flight from Ringway, Manchester, on 9th
January 1941; the first production Lancaster flew later that
year on 31st October.
PA474 is
one of only two Lancaster aircraft remaining in airworthy
condition out of the 7,377 that were built (the other is in
Canada with the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum at Hamilton,
Ontario). PA474 rolled off the production line at the Vickers
Armstrong Broughton factory at Hawarden Airfield, Chester on
31 May 1945, just after the war in Europe came to an end, so
she was prepared for use against the Japanese as part of the
‘Tiger Force’. However, the war in the Far East also ended
before she was deployed and she did not take part in any
hostilities.
The
Supermarine Spitfire is probably the most famous aircraft of
all time. It is a British Single-seat Fighter (although there
were two seat trainer variants later) that saw extensive
service for the Royal Air Force and its allies during the 2nd
World War. It was produced in several different variants and
was constantly updated to ensure that it was always one of the
most able aircrafts on the front line in all theatres of war.
Famously powered by the distinctive Rolls Royce Merlin (and
later Griffin) engine, the spitfire is a true icon of British
engineering.
