On Saturday 1st October, the BBMF ended the 2022 display season with their annual Members Day event. The event is a way to thank members of the Lincolnshire Lancaster Association and the Memorial Flight Official Club for their invaluable support to the flight and its activities.
The event was attended by over 2500 members, who were treated to static displays of the Flights aircraft as well as the Typhoon Display Jet and a Mustang from Rolls-Royce. The 2 and a half hour flying display included the iconic Spitfire and Typhoon combination, followed by a Typhoon Display by 2022 Display Pilot Flt Lt Adam “Paddy” O’Hare. The BBMF’s 2022 displays wowed the crowds and included a thrilling Tailchase by the Spitfire and Hurricane, and the Rolls-Royce P-51 Mustang and Mk XIX Spitfire also performed displays. On the ground, there were also classic car displays and 20 exhibitor stands showcasing everything from the Flights new Spitfire Simulator to sales of classic art and aircraft memorabilia. A fantastic day was had by all, and the event has been heralded a complete success!
