BBMF Prepare for new season

[Ian A.S.]

A few brief images from some of this weeks early stage practice for the Hurricane and the Lancaster despite the weather and the wind

The Lancaster in good weather






Hurricane in close company of veterans and to-days front line




With heavy rain on the way



Great credit to the team for carrying on the Battle Flight training despite worsening conditions which caused the fighters to use runway three zero and plans to recover to Cranwell if necessary - I hope the next image of the Lanc conveys the determination to complete the days practice





How easy it is to take the BBMF for granted each year at Airshows and Flypasts. A great team and an incredible fleet about to be increased when hopefully the long term restoration of Spitfire Mk XVI appears in the air

I appreciate these aircraft more and more each year - great photographs.
