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.
