Title: BBMF to miss D-Day Events
Post by: angry turnip on May 31, 2024, 17:07
The RAF's Battle of Britain Memorial Flight (BBMF) will not take part in D-Day anniversary events for 2024.

Very sad news but understandable.

The BBMF C-47 Dakota is under deep maintenance at Duxford and is not expected back to Conningsby until Sept 2024.
