News & competitions

This month, we’re thrilled to be giving away a limited-edition 1/32 scale model of the Avro Lancaster B Mk1, worth over £250. The prize comes complete with a very special decal sheet, so that you can decorate the model in BBMF Lancaster PA474’s current livery.

The annual Members’ Day event was held at the BBMF at RAF Coningsby on Saturday 28th September. Members’ Day is an exclusive ‘closed’ event for 2,500 ticket-holding members of the Lincolnshire’s Lancaster Association and of the RAF Memorial Flight Official Club, and is traditionally held at the end of each display season as a thank you from the BBMF to its supporters. The ticket allocation for Members’ Day is limited to a total of 2,500 because of the maximum capacity of the BBMF site at RAF Coningsby, which is also an active operational airfield.

The RAF Memorial Flight Official Club Autumn Journal for 2019 will shortly be sent out exclusively to Club members, free of charge. This Autumn Journal is packed full of features about the BBMF, its people and its aircraft (some of them written by BBMF pilots themselves), and aspects of the Royal Air Force history that the Flight represents and commemorates.
