Flypasts
The Royal Airforce Battle of Britain Memorial Flight (BBMF) is due to decorate the sky this week at Henley. On Friday, 30 June at 19:01 and on Sunday, 02 July at 14:15, the Lancaster PA474 will fly past. PA474 was built at the Vickers Armstrong Broughton factory at Hawarden Airfield, Chester on 31 May 1945, just after VE day. The war in the Far East ended before she was deployed and she did not take part in any hostilities.
On Saturday, 1 July at 15:00, we will be greeted by Spitfire MK356. Post war, the MK356 was used as an instructional airframe at RAF Halton until 1951, and then featured as a static airframe in the epic film “Battle of Britain” in 1968.
