85 years ago, this month, Britain was under aerial siege with ‘The Blitz’ in full swing. The sustained, indiscriminate, nightly bombing campaign by the Germans against British towns and cities, which became known as ‘The Blitz’, lasted from September 1940 to May 1941.

In July 2025 we produced a videoed question and answer (Q&A) session, with Squadron Leader Mark 'Suggs' Sugden and Squadron Leader Paul 'Ernie' Wise taking time out of their busy schedules to answer questions sent in by Cub members.

OC BBMF, Squadron Leader Paul ‘Ernie’ Wise, has offered to do a Part 2 Q&A session video over the 2025-26 winter period.
