During 2024 we have been presenting the image from the Club calendar for that month in the newsletter, with some details about the picture, including when and where the photo was taken. For December we chose this picture because of the intense and focussed look in the eyes of the pilot, actually Squadron Leader Mark ‘Suggs’ Sugden, OC BBMF, sitting in the cockpit of BBMF Spitfire IIa P7350 ready to go flying. We titled it “The eyes have it”!
If you're after a festive gift for the BBMF fan in your life - or yourself - we've got plenty to browse in our online shop.
