Hmm, might have to slope over since it’s on my doorstep:) Is it a new GRP Hurricane replica, or a second hand one from elsewhere?

Spitfire and Hurricane arriving first, Dakota a little later.
.
Only the Dakota is landing, the Hurri and Spit are still doing the flypast they are coming over from Duxford and then returning to Coningsby.

The event is open to the public. There is an entry charge of £2 to help cover the costs. As well as the BBMF, there is a fly-in of GA aircraft.
The airfield is also hosting the annual re-union of the RAFA National Service section, so plenty of veterans in attendance too from post-war days.
The unveiling will be outside the only original WW2 hangar still surviving. Museum nearby should be open too.
Spitfire and Hurricane arriving first, Dakota a little later.
Food and drinks available at the Squadron.

Thanks for the prior notice of this dedication.
Is this an invitation only event or is it for anyone interested in attending ?
Thanks.
