Battle of Britain Memorial Flight

Post by karatekid » Sun Sep 20, 2020 5:19 pm

Found a few photos on the net from the 80th anniversary flypasts recently. Never get tired of seeing these aircraft, unlike the Luftwaffe did.

I had the honour of being the first ever paying passenger in the 2 seat Hurricane on Wednesday.

Pics courtesy of a professional photographer flying alongside. They'll be using these pics to try and sell more flights. Wish I'd worn my Burnley top now :?

The last ‘see off’ of my 26 year career.
