Come to our Weekend Opening! Saturday 28th and Sunday 29th August – see the aircraft in the hangar and also see some of them take off to carry out flypasts and land later. BRING YOUR CAMERA!
The guided tour of our unique working hangar costs £5.00 for Adults and £3.30 for Concessions. If you are bringing your family for a day out why not take a Family Ticket for just £13.30 (2 adults and up to 3 concessions, not just children).
The Battle of Britain Memorial Flight operates a Lancaster, five Spitfire, two Hurricane, two Chipmunk, and a Dakota. A partnership between Lincolnshire County Council and the Royal Air Force makes it possible to view these historic aircraft at their base at RAF Coningsby.
The Visitors’ Centre has welcomed over 300,000 people to its permanent gallery, temporary exhibitions space and excellent shop. Visitors, who take a guided tour, have the rare opportunity to visit the flight on its home territory, where you can watch technicians who have learnt skills all but lost, working on these magnificent aircraft.
The aircraft are no museum pieces, they are all still flying and can be seen at a variety of air shows in the summer months.
