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.
During the 2nd world war the
Spitfire proved its worth time and time again, seeing early
success in the Battle of Britain and later adapting to bomber
escort, photo reconnaissance and ground attack roles. It was
the most numerous allied fighter, produced throughout the
whole of war unlike any other aircraft. Today there are over
60 Spitfires still flying, but with several restorations
taking place this number is ever growing. The sight of the
iconic elliptical wings and the sound the Rolls Royce Merlin
Engine overhead still stirs emotions and feelings of
admiration for those who flew and maintained them during our
darkest hours.
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 aircraft of the BBMF can
be seen almost anywhere in the skies of the UK during the
summertime. They are a staple feature of most air shows and
usual undertake a number of flypasts every weekend at a range
of related events.
