News & competitions

We have a very exciting ballot prize on offer to members of the RAF Memorial Flight Club this month. One lucky member will win a VIP visit to the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight on a date of their choice and will be able to bring along up to 3 guests!

You’ll find the programme of events for the VIP visit listed below. Highlights include being allowed to enter the Dakota (subject to serviceability), meeting OC BBMF Andy ‘Milli’ Millikin and a buffet lunch in the Lancaster Lounge.

Seventy-five years ago, on Christmas Eve 1941, No 44 (Rhodesia) Squadron, which had been operating Handley Page Hampden twin-engine bombers since February 1939, received the best Christmas present its crews could ask for, when the first three production Avro Lancaster B1s were delivered to them at Waddington.

A copy of a newly published book, ‘Flying the Icon: Spitfire’ by well-known aviation writer, Jarrod Cotter is a bonus competition prize this month. This is on top of the RAF Memorial Flight Club’s usual monthly ballot prize.
