The Battle of Britain Memorial Flight

Magnificent Second World War planes can occasionally be spotted in the skies above Lincolnshire - but have you seen them up close?
If not, why not make a note of two special open weekends when you can do just that!
The Battle of Britain Memorial Flight (BBMF), based at RAF Coningsby, operates a Lancaster, five Spitfires, two Hurricanes, two Chipmunks and a Dakota.
Together, the planes, which perform regularly at airshows such as Waddington form a living tribute to all the RAF crew who gave their lives in the Second World War.
At the BBMF, Lincolnshire County Council runs a visitor centre featuring a permanent gallery, temporary exhibition space and shop.
To see the aircraft up close, visitors can also pay for a guided tour of the hangar where they are maintained by the RAF.
The BBMF is open Monday to Friday throughout the year (except bank holidays and Christmas), and on special summer open weekends, including Saturday 30th and Sunday 31st July and Monday 29th August.
Opening times are 10am to 5pm
Hangar tours from 10.30am to 3.30pm
