September 3rd,Biggin Hill,Spitfire,Hurricane,Dakota.
September 4th,Biggin Hill,Dakota.

You will actually find that both events have been addressed in message #8 above….. 😉

Sorry looks like in read the thread too fast. 😮

Good to know they will be doing the VE day flypast. Do you know if it will involve multiple fighters?

I used to see the BBMF quite often over my house when they used to make regular visits/overnighters to RAF Northolt or the odd display over Bentley Priory.
Not any more, must be getting on for 10 years since an appearance at/or over Northolt.

Poor show for the RAF’s last operational 11 Group BofB station.

Can any of our resident BBMF guys explain why….??

Increasing restrictions on flying over built up areas perhaps..??

I have been to Northolt at least twice in my time at BBMF (7th season), and I’m sure we have been there other times as well. It all depends what shows/flypasts or events and where.

Anything on the VE day flypast? Single engines or no?

We received confirmation of the Lancasters appearance at the Hunsdon airfield memorial dedication on May 22nd! 🙂

Why do we have to wait for the website to be updated. Why not just post the full list of BBMF dates here? Surely, it can’t be that enormous?

If I remember correctly.it says in the current LLA journal,that they receive circa 1000 requests for the flight each year,and,inevitably,not all get permission,so it gives you an idea how big the final list is.If I had a couple of days to do it,I would,but when you see the full list on the official website,I’m sure you’ll agree,it was worth the wait.
But the reason I started this thread,was to give people a chance to mark their calendars as soon as possible,in order to see this most beautiful spectacle.

flypasts at places on the way to and from main displays,

I can confirm that through personal experience.

A very busy operation, BBMF. Long may it continue to be that way.

I used to work for Exel,and deliver to that and Egremont from Sherburn-in-Elmet,near York.Used to take 3.5hours to get there,during the night.Great journey,but tiring.

Thanks for that, you get my sympathies for knowing that establishment, we do have other supermarkets available, thanks god !!

Whitehaven,(I know the Kwik Save well!!!) and down the coast to Barrow,on the 26th only.Lancaster,Spitfire,Hurricane.

Funnily enough,the same day that PA474 is in Wakefield and Elvington,so you may need to ring me,to let me know they’re on their way!!!!!

Ken.

BBMF question

will they be at whitehaven on the 25th and 26th June. Many thanks

Many thanks ! And I’ll let you know if I want more dates…when will the full calender be published…?

The website problems are in the process of being sorted, we hope to have it updated asap. The board at the fence outside BBMF will be updated weekly so as the locals can inform folks what is happening at what time.

Anyone have an idea why it is visiting two locations at Wakefield?

One is the Cathedral,which I guess might have something to do with the 60th anniversary,and the other,I think,is Horbury street fair,which,if it is,it’ll be a case of blink and you’ll miss her.Strangely,the local rag hasn’t made any announcement yet. :confused:

We also get the opportunity to have PA474 on the 2nd May,which,I’m guessing,is the charity shindig at Thornes Park,and this is another blink and you’ll miss her.

This happened last year at Thornes Park,when a Spitfire was flying past.

Although in my humble opinion,not as good as my motorsport swaree at Blyton in September last year…………. 😉

Ken.

Looks like I have a personal choice on the 26th June.

Lancaster over Wakefield,at 2 locations,or Lancaster,Spitfire,Hurricane at Elvington.And as my car isn’t fast enough to keep up with both Lancaster sites,I’ll have to make a difficult decision.

Mmmmm…………………

I honestly don’t know when the website will be updated.I should imagine any day now.

I did ask on here last week,and the dates were imminent,but I’ve received mine today,with the LLA AGM notification.
