A Lancaster of 97 (Pathfinder) Squadron from RAF Coningsby – now the home of the BBMF Lancaster – was amongst the first RAF casualties of D-Day, 80 years ago on 6th June 1944.
After the success of last year’s photo competition and the superb 2024 Club calendar that resulted, the RAF Memorial Flight Official Club is pleased to announce a new photographic competition for Club members to submit their photos of the BBMF for possible inclusion in the 2025 Club calendar.
During 2024 we are presenting the image from the Club calendar in the newsletter for that month, with some details about the picture, including when and where the photo was taken. This month we feature the ‘behind-the-scenes’ image taken by long-time Club member Karen Shortland, which we used for June.
Register to receive our latest news and competitions by email.
We’ll also set you up with an account for our Forum and Gallery. You'll be able to post in these if you are a Club member.
