I thought I would reply to some of the points raised on this thread and on the B O B Lanc returning thread.
1. The Lanc is not being grounded in the near future she has a long life ahead at least 20 yrs2. The aircrew/ groundcrew are in the RAF, but only the boss Sqn Ldr Pinner and the groundcrew work at BBMF on a fulltime basis
3. P7350 took part in the Battle of Britain on 603 Sqn
4. The guys did a great job fixing the Lanc so it could display the next day and many of the comments posted here about this have been greatly appreciated
5. It was one of the new bags that burst, not an original, the Lancs brakes are like the Spitfire they are pneumatic
6. And finally yes I work on the flight and have been there for 13yrs
Thank you very much for the information.And the Lanc will be flying more then 20 years I hope and by them the BBMF might have a new bomber I hope 😀

I remember a bit where the commentator was saying that some people thought that the BBMF should become the ‘RAF Memorial Flight’ because the Lancaster didn’t play a role in the Battle of Britain…
Did any off the aircraft in BBMF take part in Battle of Britian?
‘RAF Memorial Flight’ sounds cool 😎
James
Shrivenham is between Swindon, Wiltshire and Faringdon, Oxfordshire and is the Royal Military College of Science. No aircraft facilities or runways.
TLC is short for Tender Loving Care 🙂
Crews as far as I am aware are all serving RAF staff, and what a great job they do to.
Look here for a more detailed look at the RAF Battle of Britain Memorial Flight. http://www.deltaweb.co.uk/bbmf/home.html although I think the ground crews should have their own section and quite rightly to. http://www.pa474.f9.co.uk/

Oh right thank you very much for the information
