The BBMF’s PR Team is made up of a group of serving RAF personnel, all of them enthusiastic volunteers with other primary roles in the RAF, who travel to air shows and events to be the ‘face’ of the BBMF on the ground for the public. Their commitment and the call on their time is extraordinary, but without their efforts the BBMF would not be able to provide a physical presence on the ground at events.

If you are planning to attend one of the air shows or events listed below at which the BBMF will be represented by some of its PR Team, please be sure to go and seek them out by their BBMF logoed gazebo or tent. You can chat with them about the BBMF and pick up some free souvenirs.

Club member Mark Broughton was the lucky winner of the RAF Memorial Flight Official Club ballot prize for February 2018, the chance to experience the cockpit of one of the BBMF Spitfires. Mark, from Long Sutton, Lincolnshire, arranged to visit the BBMF at RAF Coningsby on 11th May to claim his prize. He brought with him his wife Claire and guests Michael and Marilyn Holland.

This month, we’re giving away two copies of a newly published book, Our Story, Your History – The International Bomber Command Centre by Steve Darlow, Mark Dodds, Dr Dan Ellin, Sean Feast, and Dr Robert Owen. Two lucky Club members will win a copy of the hardback book, which would usually cost £25.00.
